This book is a theological and philosophical journey to Narnia, a world C.S. Lewis created in his well-known Narnia stories, especially in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Muhling uncovers key themes of Christianity and explains their relevance for us today. Markus Muhling takes the reader on an adventure through Narnia. He opens the door onto this fantasy world, in a manner that is accessible for and applicable to all readers, uncovering some key aspects of Christian theology and Western philosophy that lie beneath the surface of C.S. Lewis’ well-known story. Muhling offers an explanation of the underlying message in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, providing answers to some fundamental questions that readers or film audiences may have. Travelling further into Narnia, Muhling compares different interpretations of Jesus’ death on the cross. He links this with the implications that the Christian message has on everyday life. By presenting various models explaining Christian theology and western philosophical thought, this book guides the reader through the jungle that is different interpretations of life and death, sin and redemption, good and evil thus allowing the reader to form their own opinion.
Markus Mühling ist Professor für Systematische Theologie an der Kirchlichen Hochschule Wuppertal/Bethel.
