Toss the idea!

There is no concept of angels in Narnia, and it rather defeats Aslan being a lion (though no ordinary lion) if he is surrounded by angels.

Would you put on play about the life of Jesus and have him surrounded by angels?

I agree that the angels should go. It seems as though one might as well put a flashing sign above the stage saying "THIS IS A CHRISTIAN STORY: ASLAN EQUALS JESUS," which is exactly the thing Lewis didn't want to do with it. Even when children would write to him directly and question him regarding the Christian aspects of the story, he wouldn't give them a straight response. He wanted the story to stand on it own, with theological connections coming about naturally (if at all) in the reader's mind, not forced there prematurely.

Maybe they could be changed to eldilla?:-)

Please, no angels. That sounds really corny, not to mention unnecessary.

However I must mention that I find it poor logic to compare the use of angels with Aslan to angels following Christ around, and conclude that both are ludicrous. Angels did follow Christ around during His earthly ministry. After He had fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, who ministered to Him?
I doubt that God would send His Son to earth without the proper escort. :wink:
