Overview
Lewis's story is a tale rich with metaphors that reflect our sinful failures and God's endeavors to save us from the consequences. This study will explore the ways in which the adventures of the four Pevensie children in Narnia illustrate humankind's corruption and sinful behavior, the role of conscience, the power of trust, the value of forgiveness, and the way that Christ's sacrifice and resurrection liberates us from death's curse.
