Majesty and Mercy in the Wardrobe: 10 Gospel Insights from C.S. Lewis in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

This is the first post in a series concerning The Chronicles of Narnia novels. Since I am reading C.S. Lewis’ major non-fiction works this year, I have also decided to read the Narnia series. As I do so, I am not only enjoying the captivating dramas, but I also know that C.S. Lewis was (and is) a brilliant mind who illustrated wonderful gospel truths within the stories.

God’s Love Will Not Leave Us As We Are

C.S. Lewis, in his book The Problem of Pain, has a chapter in which he details God’s ‘divine goodness,’ as he calls it.
