March HJ Feature

The March Hollywood Jesus Narnia Feature Article has been posted: " Cleaning Our Windows." TheOneRing.net contributor Maureen Stewart has graciously written a guest analysis for us, explaining how the supposed flaws that we might find in Andrew Adamson's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe can help us gain a new appreciation for the things which Narnia represents.

Here's a snip:
It is, in fact a good thing that the children do not cease being children in a big scary battle. Our customary conventions for modern tales make men and women the primary movers of the plot. Heroism today is defined as effectiveness and superior power. But in this tale it is Magic at work moving the story and enlarging its characters, and a Magician behind it all (to borrow from Chesterton again).
