An adult convert to Christianity, Lewis had previously authored a number of works on Christian apologetics and other fiction with Christian themes. The character Aslan is seen by many as a fictionalized version of Christ.[46] Lewis did not initially plan to incorporate Christian theological concepts into his Narnia stories. Lewis maintained that the Narnia books were not allegorical, preferring to term their Christian aspects a "supposition".[47][48]
The Chronicles have a large Christian following, and are widely used to promote Christian ideas. However, some Christians and Christian organizations have criticised Lewis, feeling that The Chronicles promote "soft-sell paganism and occultism" due to the recurring pagan imagery and themes. Fantasy author J.K. Rowling, herself a member of the Church of Scotland, has been critical of Narnia on ethical grounds[49]. Reactions from non-Christian authors, have been mixed as well. The Chronicles have been severely criticized by Phillip Pullman, but praised by Laura Miller.
Vai se ver muita coisa como lição de moral e personagens inocentes, mas, por mim, vale a pena dar uma lida. Se não gostou do primeiro e do segundo, não faz sentido continuar.

If it hadn't been for the friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the world would likely never have seen The Narnia Chronicles, The Lord of the Rings, and much else.
