Abstract

Reformulations of biblical narrative occupy an increasingly relevant place in the current literary representations. Under this assumption, this research attempts to show the connections between the Bible and C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia in order to explain the literary models of the Bible that are replicated in the saga. That seeks to demonstrate that through the fictional evocation of certain concepts they might be apprehended more significantly. That learning occurs through the process of mimetic representation of reality that Paul Ricoeur holds following the Aristotelian theory of mimesis and catharsis. With these and with the emotional connections that experiences the reader when he recognizes something that he has been taught to know it is why we dare to propose a pedagogical reading of the saga. Thus, exceeding an overall approach to the text, it will be possible to discover a second reading which will transcend its allegorical mechanisms responding to criteria such as the content of certain theological realities.
