Aslan som en bild av treenigheten Går det att använda lejonet Aslan i Narnia som en bild av treenigheten?

Abstract

"Children's book is the best style means if you have something to say" is a quote by CS Lewis that I focused on in this essay. As a future priest, I am aware of the problems that explain some of the Christian church pillars. In this essay I treat the Trinity in relation to teaching children in a future profession. Research in child and adolescent spirituality is on rampage, books with religious messages and ambitions to teach children about Christian ethics and morals have been around since Sunday school introduction in Sweden. What are the tools that can be used to explain even for scholars and theologians difficult concepts? Is it possible to meet kids on their own ground? I see an opportunity for this through the literature, and the characters they already know outside the ecclesiastical sphere, In this bachelor thesis I have used perhaps one of the major works of children's literature during the 1900s, The chronicles of Narnia. My approach is to see if I could use the lion Aslan as a metaphor for the properties of the Trinity. In addition to my primary literature; The Magician’s Nephew, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the Bible 2000, I look at research done about myth and religion as tools in literature through modern history. It is always questions as to what is correct literature and not purely scientific. My choice is made based on that the results could be used in both teaching about Christianity in school, but especially in the church during children hours.
