Sophia Holcomb joins Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller to explore how C. S. Lewis portrays a theology of creation, sin, redemption, sanctification, and new creation throughout The Chronicles of Narnia. From Aslan's creation song and the White Witch's curse to Aslan's substitutionary death and final restoration in The Last Battle, they trace how Lewis communicates the gospel through his most well-known books.
