CS Lewis' Narnia Chronicles hidden meaning and his belief in God
I was fascinated by the progamme The Narnia code. I think it raises lots of interesting philosophical questions at the end but primarily its something that all CS Lewis fans should watch.
Documentary examining claims that CS Lewis's Narnia Chronicles contain a hidden meaning.
CS Lewis wrote the Narnia Chronicles over 50 years ago, yet they are more popular today than ever. When they were first published, many critics thought them little more than childish scribblings, replete with random characters and unexplained events. Even Lewis's good friend JRR Tolkien thought them confused and misconceived.
Other scholars were sure there was something more, something hidden beneath the stories. Although many tried, none could find this secret key of Narnia - until now. Dr Michael Ward, a young academic and expert in all things Lewisian, claims he has found the answer at last: he has discovered the Narnia Code.
Using dramatisations of Lewis's early life and career, the programme travels the world, from the Mid-West of modern America to the battlefields of the First World War, meeting experts, testing evidence and uncovering surprising questions and ideas that still challenge readers today.

When we look at the structure of the world we find a beautiful order.
I'll leave you with the question "why is there something rather than nothing"

Heh, me too.
Seriously the lion gets resurrected? Aswell as the whole 'faith' thing. And as for the last book they clearly end up in heaven (0 on the ending there lewis). He was this really religious guy, he also wrote a book called the screwtape letters where its like a demon corresponding to the devil or soemthing whsoe trying to make sure a boy goes to hell by leading him to all the wrong things in life and he described it as a 'disgusting' exercise which i thought was a bit...well..tbh..sad.

The programme is primarily about the hidden meaning in the chronicles of narnia.
The journey he underwent and the beauty of the hidden meaning regardless of your own personal belief is something that I peronally found fascinating.

Yeah, I definitely remember reading all this on his wiki page anyway, I don't think its news to anyone who knows about c.s lewis.
