Something I Don’t Get

June 4, 2008

Chronicles of Narnia Prince CaspianI watched the Chronicles of Narnia with Brandon the other day. We followed it up with the sequel Prince Caspian. Both entertaining but hardly “spiritual”. The author C.S. Lewis, is largely regarded as one of the pillars of Christian theology. Lewis wrote the Narnia series. Therefore many well meaning Christians give Narina a pass. It must be ok for C.S.Lewis wrote it. Yet the Christian community had a huge out cry about the Harry Potter movies.

Both movies share similar themes. Both had elements of witchcraft and sorcery. It’s a little hypocritical to endorse one but not the other IMO. If you hold hard to the legalistic view of keeping magic away from children, fine. Then keep your kids away from Chronicles of Narnia. When ready to teach your children discernment about what’s real and what’s magical then don’t “villainize” Harry Potter because it’s not authored by C.S. Lewis.
