The Narnia Chronicles are certainly the most famous works of writer and novelist C.S. Lewis. Although they are known as children's fantasy novels, they are also popular with students and adults, including many Christian theologians. In the Narnia Chronicles, Lewis represents the Biblical character of Jesus Christ as the character of Aslan the lion, by summarizing certain events in the life of Jesus to children in a new context in a way that is easy for them to understand. The story of The Magician's Nephew describes the creation of the land of Narnia and how humans came became associated to this magical world which the narration draws from the creation story of the Genesis. The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe are both works that demonstrate that the Narnia Chronicles are Christian allegories that intend to teach moral lessons, but are also children's fantasies that include Biblical themes such as creation, temptation and evil.
In The Magician's Nephew, Polly & Digory are present throughout the entire narrative. Lewis describes Aslan's creation of the world of Narnia as seen by these two children. As they walk into a dark Narnia they notice that they are standing on something solid, which symbolically represents the Earth even if the land of Narnia is dark. In the Genesis, God created the heavens and the Earth and then the first thing he did was create light. Lewis then adds more Biblical creation images for the reader by the description of the beginning of light in Narnia. The first thing the two children see are the “singing” stars while Genesis describes them "as signs to mark seasons and days and years.” The creation of Narnia deals so much with the creation of the world as referred to by the book of Genesis.
The evil entering Narnia is another Christian allegory, which is represented by The White Witch. She is the antagonist in Narnia, opposing to Aslan. Aslan makes it clear that she is the evil being that has entered Narnia:...
