Even though C.S. Lewis insisted that the Chronicles of Narnia were not allegorical with reference to the Bible, there are several clear parallels that can be drawn:\n-Aslan is a lion king who has temporarily lost power to the white witch, and Jesus is referred to as the Lion of Judah. In the Christian faith, He is also the rightful King, though Satan controls earth for now.\n-Aslan offers himself willingly as a sacrifice in the place of Edmund, who is supposed to die according to the deep magic. Jesus offers Himself as a substitute for mankind when He dies on the Cross.\n-Like Aslan, Jesus is amazingly resurrected even though He was slain by His enemy.\n-Aslan breathes life into those creatures that were frozen by the white witch, and they live again. Because of Jesus Christ, the dead will rise again at the Resurrection.
