There is no other time when Christian sense a greater need to be in continuity with the spiritual experience of their ancestors. Just as our Jewish sisters and brothers celebrate Passover with the ritual meal, stories, and songs of their forebears and thereby taste, touch, smell, hear, and see the miracles of their liberation from slavery, so Christians celebrate the Paschal Mystery whereby the Lamb of God purchased our release from death and sin with his own blood—how can we keep from singing the same songs as we experience the same redemption?

Lewis's beloved classic series "The Chronicles of Narnia." From Aslan, the Great Lion of Narnia, to Zardeenah, the mysterious Lady of the Night, this comprehensive work contains hundreds of alphabetically arranged and indexed entries covering all the characters, events, places, and themes that Lewis magically wove into his fictional world. Bringing the reader a deeper appreciation and understanding of the "Chronicles, " Ford illuminates the philosophical, spiritual, and psychological significance behind each story, while explaining the symbolic and thematic threads that unify the series.
