Paganism and Narnia

Peter Chattaway has put together an excellent article dealing with the question of the pagan influence in Lewis' writing. He rightly points out that, if we are concerned with the Narnia films accurately reflecting the books, we need to come to grips with Lewis' thinking when he says things like, "When grave persons express their fear that England is relapsing into Paganism, I am tempted to reply, 'Would that she were.'" Chattaway does an excellent job of examining Lewis' ideas in the context of the books and the upcoming film.

The article is worth reading whether you're a Christian or not. Why? Because it will help you understand Lewis and his thinking.
