Lewis' missionary effort

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2006)

Jack Lewis wrote the Narnia Chronicles intended as an inoffensive effort of proselytizing his readers; not just the children but the adults who read to the kids. Now that Disney has bought the franchise and scored big on the first of the installment, Lewis' dream will come to fruition with world-wide impact. The more agnostic reviewers want to diminish the "religious" component, but that is just unlearned spin. The film version of Lion, Witch & Wardrobe is a clear allegorical presentation of the Gospel of Christ.
The film is well done and a faithful adaptation from the book. What a joy it is to see this beautiful story done with the professionalism it deserves. This film is an all-time classic on par with the Star Wars and the Wizard of Oz. But better still, it proclaims God's Good News of the hope available to mankind in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Let's hope Disney produces the rest of the Narnia Chronicles with the same quality and integrity of message.
