The Chronicles of Narnia does not follow the Bible word for word... it is simply an symbol of the overal story in the Bible. The lamppost that guides the children when they are lost in the forest symbolizes Christians who are to be a light to the lost and dying world. Aslan symbolizes Christ Himself in that Christ is the Lion of Judah.
When the four children enter the forest, it symbolizes man's walk through life, as led by Christ. But, man has strayed (as did Edmund). Man has betrayed Christ (as Edmund betrayed Aslan) and because of this, Christ had to die for us (as Aslan died in Edmund's place).

There are some great books about Narnia's connection to the Bible. Visit www.crossings.com and do a search for Narnia to see what is available. You may also find these books at the library.

The Chronicles of Narnia were not based on the Bible and include many mystical creatures. The author was not a believer at the time he wrote the books.

Of the three, darling, I want Harry Potter. The Bible is basically too inconsistent, too uninteresting in spots and too violent in others and a number of of alternative the translations are putridly written, and the Chronicles of Narnia, whilst in specific cases exciting and in specific cases fantastically imagined, are too patronizing of its audience and too preachy. Lewis spends too lots time patting his audience on the heads and telling them to be sturdy little boys and girls. this is stressful. I fairly have a tendency to trust Tolkien that a number of Lewis' judgements with connection with characters and plot cheapen the narrative. whilst the Harry Potter books at the instant are not the superb-written novels i've got ever examine, they do improve over the direction of the sequence, with some fairly gorgeous and nuanced writing interior the later books, and supply a dynamic, plausible, and exciting narrative, with a compelling forged of characters, and a workmanlike style this is rarely, if ever preachy and not in any respect condescending.

interesting question, most people connect aslan to Jesus. the four children and the faun are a bit trickier. the Faun could represent the Pagan God Pan, which is now depicted as Satan. the four children might represent four main people in the bible, like ruth, Peter, Paul and someone else. Your guess is as good as mine.

They aren't. Certain parts of Narnia is not related to the bible.

its the representation of the story the fawn may not have much to do with it but its more that good conqures evil and that aslan gave his life just as jesus gave his life for us and was also raised from the dead
