In this month’s edition of the Hollywood Jesus Narnia coverage, we will not only revisit the basic storyline of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but we will also examine some of the more curmudgeonly assessments of the book’s literary merits as well as some of the lesser-analyzed spiritual issues in the text.
