I'm sure there are different ways that Narnia can remind you of the Bible. Now bear in mind, there should be no theological dispute.
In The Horse And His Boy, there's a moment where Aslan tells Shasta "Myself" three times, each in a different voice. It's the same concept as when God says, "I am who I am" or when Jesus says "I Am". It's also a good pesentation of the Trinity- deep and low (God the Father), loud and clear (God the Son), and in a whisper (God the Holy Spirit). It's a very difficult concept to grasp.
The Last Battle is the last days. While the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle has the aspect of Satan, I think Tash in a way could be a picture of how Satan will one day reveal his true nature. "Woe to the Earth and Sea, for the devil has come down to you! He is filled with great anger, knowing he does not have much time!"
Can you think of anything else in Narnia that reminds you of the Bible?
I think The Horse and His Boy reminds me a little of the book of Esther (in that the work of Aslan is hidden like in Esther at least until he suddenly reveals himself to Shasta) The line of Bree, "If he was a lion he would have wiskers" and then he gets scarred because he feels wiskers reminds me of, "Touch see that it is I for a spirit does not have flesh and bones like you see me have." (Gospels somewhere) The Dedragoning of Eustace reminds me of Ephisians 2:8,9 when he says, "I couldn't take it off myself I had to let him do it" (Not sure that is an exact quote)
He does all things well.
The HHB-Esther parallel isn’t one that had crossed my mind before! That’s a great observation, knight!
Interesting you brought up the aspect of Esther in HHB, @Knight. And course, as I'm sure most of you already know, God's name is not mention in the book of Esther.
I actually thought of in VDT, where Eustace is turned into a dragon, Saul when he first met with Jesus on the road to Damascus in Acts. Saul has been persecuting Christians, and after his encounter with Jesus, he went blind. And he couldn't be saved on his own, like Eustace couldn't be saved from being a dragon. Then the undragoning of Eustace is almost seen as when Saul got his sight back.
