Although I admit to not having read all of the lengtier responses, to which I am sorry, I would like to give my view on this. I am a Christian, and I like the idea of what Lewis did. He wrote many works to Christians and non-Chhristians supporting God. I've only read the Chronicles of Narnia, but I happen to know one of his other works, The Screwtape Letters, is about how Satan works. Tolkien wrote fantasy, albeit the best fantasy in the world in my mind, but Lewis wrote fantasy and Christian literature. Narnia was written as children's stories. I think he used it as an allegory (Lion/Witch/Wardrobe is the story of Jesus) to introduce children to God. Thanks for listening.
