All so that we can figure out that God is a magic talking lion
Well, jesus. I don't think we ever actually see god in the books.
Is Aslan a God, or just a very old entity? I haven't read the books.
He says quite clearly that on earth his form is a lamb instead of a lion, and the last book is a straight eschaton.
He's 100% an allegory for the Christian God, but idr if he's the canonical God in Narnia itself.
He's literally sacrificed as a Christ figure
In the third book, he basically outright says he's Jesus.
When Edmund and Lucy are told they won't be returning to Narnia, Edmund asks if Aslan is also in the human world.
The whole book series is an allegory for the bible.
