Lewis's famed Chronicles of Narnia, but why? What is it about these seven books that makes them so appealing? For more than half a century, scholars have attempted to find the organizing key--the \"secret code\"--to the beloved series, but it has remained a mystery. Until now. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Narnia Code\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Ward takes the reader through each of the seven Narnia books and reveals how each story embodies and expresses the characteristics of one of the seven planets of medieval cosmology--Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus and Saturn--planets which Lewis described as \"spiritual symbols of permanent value.\" \u003cbr\u003eHow does medieval cosmology relate to the Christian underpinnings of the series? How did it impact Lewis's depiction of Aslan, the Christlike character at the heart of the books? And why did Lewis keep this planetary inspiration a secret? Originally a ground-breaking scholarly work called \u003ci\u003ePlanet Narnia\u003c\/i\u003e, this more accessible adaptation will answer all the questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1414339658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781414339658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyndale House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.61w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 37","brand":"Michael Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045846446335,"sku":"9781414339658","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4540ee21-0bda-46fa-8aae-cf2077ff6859.jpg?v=1684981113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-narnia-code-michael-ward-9781414339658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
