Comparing Aslan And God In The Magician's Nephew

467 Words2 Pages

The Magician's Nephew is a great book that resembles the story of creation from the Bible. In this book, two kids are sent to another world with an evil witch. This evil witch, named Jadis, represents the devil in the Magician’s Nephew. The children see a new world being sung into existence by a lion named Aslan. Aslan represents God. In this document I will compare and contrast Aslan and the God of reality. Aslan and God share many common characteristics, here I will give you a few. Both Aslan and God are Lord over their worlds and have dominion. In the process of creating their world, they each either spoke or sang it into existence. You see in Genesis 1 that God the Father spoke the world into existence (NIV). Also, in chapter 9, Aslan sings Narnia into existence (Lewis). After they have created their creation they are pleased with it as you see in Genesis 1 once again (NIV). Both creators have dominion and control over their worlds. …show more content…

When mortals sinned and God left the earth and started helping from heaven or in Aslan’s case a land to the east. Aslan leaves a tree in Chapter 11 to help the world stay safe while God leaves the Holy Spirit which is God in a different form (Lewis). Aslan leaves a tree and God leaves Himself. Aslan creates animals to be in his own image because he is in the form of a lion, where Christ created humans to be in His image. Aslan is a lion while God can be in whatever form He wants. The last difference I am going to give is that Aslan uses magic while God the Father is miraculous. God and Aslan are very similar yet very
