The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

Scott, Adam, and Caleb discuss The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Originally the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia, this seafaring journey picks up four years after the events of Prince Caspian. This adventurous story is less on-the-nose theologically but is still assertively Christian in its depiction of Aslan as Christ and other underlying themes.

Prince Caspian Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

Scott and Caleb discuss Prince Caspian, the second book authored by C.S. Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia. They propose that the predominant Christian theme in the book is the truth of the Gospel and having faith in "old things" even as the human race progresses. To this end, Caleb and Scott suggest that Prince Caspian is at heart a charge against modernism.
