I just finished reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe again tonight! This is really going down as one of my favorite books of all time. Who could forget the classic scenes with underlying biblical motifs like Edmund’s first encounter with the White Witch and her Turkish Delight or Mr. and Mrs. Beaver trying to explain who Aslan is to the children or the great Stone Table? C. S. Lewis certainly had a good imagination and I’m so thankful for this pleasurable read. There are even scenes that come up where you think, “Wow, this really serves as a great spiritual illustration!” but then you wonder if you’re just reading into it or if Lewis intended it to mean just that! That is Oxford genius. Regardless, these themes are precisely what the movie versions of the stories are quite often going to miss. There really is no adequate substitute for a good read.
