Everyone seems to pick up on Aslan = Jesus but if you are vaguely familiar with turn of the century Christianity debates it’s much more specific than that.
Muslims are Satan-worshippers (Tash) and so are Christians who argue that Allah and God are the same. (In the form of Tash-lan in the novels)
The Chronicles of Narnia was basically C.S. Lewis’ opinion on theology at the time.
Recently read the last book in the Narnia series (The Last Battle). There is racism hinted throughout the series, but wow that book is overtly racist. Can’t believe kids are being encouraged to read that stuff in this day and age. And it won the Carnegie Medal smh
