Question: How is the chronicle of narnia biblical!?

Answers:
it's important to remember that not every little aspect of the movie was designed to represent anything in the bible!. But, C!.S!. Lewis was a very skilled author and he did incorporate several biblical ideas into his stories!. The four children: "Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve" are meant to represent humanity!. Caspian does as well, I think!.
In The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the story was a parallel to the biblical tale of Christ dying to save undeserving people!. But in Prince Caspian, the relations are not paralleled to a particular story so much, but rather represent ideals!. For example, the Narnians fail in their attempt when they rely on their own skills and abilities!. Note that Peter says several times: "For Narnia!" Throughout the movie!. It isn't until the very end that they realize that they should have been focused on doing what Aslan (representing Jesus and God) wanted them to do!. In the final battle, Peter finally realizes this and changes his cry to: "For Aslan!" There are several other topics like this in the movie, but the main point is that in the second film the relations are more ideal and principle based rather than event based!.

I dont think they rep anyone specific in the Bible!. They are just symbolic of everyday people, trying to do the right thing and fighting against the wrong thing!. Aslan is Jesus!. I could be wrong, this is just my thoughts!. Saw the second one today!. It was really good!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
It's not a direct analogy!. C!.S!. Lewis claimed he did not intend Chronicles to be Christian allegory, it just turned out to be that way!. The allegory is really only seen in the character of Aslan!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I don't think that the main characters represent anyone, but what I found biblical was how the Lion in the first movie died and came back to life, like Jesus Christ!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
