The constant references to "Sons of Adam" and "Daughters of Eve", Edmund betraying them for Turkish Delight (Or 30 pieces of silver, although he, fortunately, met a better end then Judas), Aslan sacrificing himself for the sins of Edmund (Willingly, which was preceeded by them beating him), and then rising again (And being found by two women, like Jesus), the White Witch playing the role of the Devil to the Emperor Beyond the Sea (Aslan's father), and the fact that Aslan is a lion. Jesus is most often depicted in the Bible as the Lamb of God, but he's also depicted on occasion as the Lion of Judah.  And then when you get into the other books, well... 1) Aslan sings Narnia into creation (Creating it with a Word, one could say), 2) Aslan appears as a Lamb to the children, 3) He tells the children that he does exist in their world, but that they'll have to come to know him by another name (And I doubt that name is Zeus, or Ahura Mazda, or Elton John), and 4) The "Anti-Aslan" in The Last Battle. Just a couple of examples. Somebody else who's read the books more recently could probably give a more detailed accounting.</blockquote>
