摘要
Renowned C. S. Lewis scholar Kathryn Lindskoog has here expanded and updated her classic study of Lewis's Narnia series originally titled, "The Lion of Judah in Never-Never Land: The Theology of C.S. Lewis Expressed in his fantasies for Children." Now with the addition of a study guide, including a look at the chronological order of the series of the seven books, the "Journey into Narnia" is filled with abundant and fresh new background information that not only puts the series in its context but explains many of the English terms unfamiliar to the American reader.
Ms. Lindskoog provides many Biblical parallels which illumine the plot. These concise insights and applications are designed for personal reading pleasure as well as being practical helpers for teachers, parents and ministers.
When C. S. Lewis read the first draft of this manuscript, he commented, "You are in the center of the target everywhere. For one thing, you know my work better than anyone else I've met; certainly better than I do myself.... You (alone of the critics I've met) realize the connection or even the unity of all the books-scholarly, fantastic, theological-and make me appear a single author, not a man who impersonates half a dozen authors, which is what I seem to most. This wins really very high marks indeed."
This important text of Lewis scholarship has been copied, widely used but never surpassed.

Educators who use the Narnia chronicles in their classrooms, or even those adults who just are fans of the series, should find this book of interest. Lindskoog, has expanded and updated her book The Lion of Judah in Never-Never Land: The Theology of C. S. Lewis Expressed in His Fantasies for Children, which was first published in the 1950s. Part 1 of the book explores the Christian theology that underlies the books and how Lewis' concept of God and nature affected his writing. Part 2 looks at the seven books individually. Each of those chapters contains questions for children to think about, vocabulary, and factual quizzes. Some of those "just for fun" quizzes are on the simplistic side, but teachers might use the activities as a jumping-off place for their own ideas. Pen-and-ink drawings enliven the text. --Ilene Cooper
