had studied the other team’s playbook first hand and now knew all the secrets. He used this to his advantage when writing his books to create logically sound arguments. One of the most obvious arguments for Christianity that Lewis presents in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a logical argument for the reality of Jesus Christ. This argument is an explanation by The Professor in the story of whether or not Lucy was “mad” after hearing concerns from Susan and Peter about Lucy’s story about a magical land beyond the wardrobe: “‘Logic!’ said the Professor half to himself.
