Chasing Aslan in the Real World
And now we come to the first contentious part of the Bible. Well, at least this is true in modern times. To be fair the idea of God literally creating the universe, literally creating each living thing with words from His mouth is fairly controversial. But the idea of God creating us as Male and...

Dominion. I'm not sure that there is anything that I am more uncomfortable with in the Bible than the concepts of "dominion" and "authority". When they are in the hands of God, absolutely fine. When I am told that I have dominion and I have authority my first thought is, "Well, that's one heck of... Continue Reading →
Now we come to the creation of mankind or, as we have learned, the “making”, the hand crafted fashioning of mankind. All of our greatest, most foundational questions about our purpose and our existence are rooted in this moment. Who are we? Why were we created? What is our purpose? Why did He make...

It would be far too easy to skip over the domestic scene with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and pretend that it doesn’t matter. Deep down inside every lover of this book is a quiet desire to actually visit Mr. and Mrs. Beaver an enjoy the hospitality of their lodge. It’s a similar feeling most readers... Continue Reading →

Before I get into the meat of this article I want to explain that I am by no means a biblical scholar, at least in the traditional sense. I am a guy who reads the Bible, pays attention, makes connections, believes the God behind this book is real, and does his best to understand it. ... Continue Reading →
It's easy to pity Lucy. She knows she isn't making up the kingdom in the wardrobe. She is beset on all sides with siblings who minimize, call her foolish, or even go so far as to outright lie when she finally proved her experience true. As a Christian, and especially when we are following our... Continue Reading →
In the chapter “What Lucy Found There” we find out that Narnia is, in some ways, not as different from our world as we would like to believe. The White Witch is there, a cruel tyrant who considers herself to be the Empress of all things in the absence of the True King. She has... Continue Reading →
I’ve been at pains to figure out how to shape what Finding Narnia will be. I’ve never attempted a project such as this before. How does one begin? Topically? Chronologically? The easiest first step to take is to go through the books and write what thoughts naturally come up. Now, there is great debate over... Continue Reading →
