If You're a Fan of C. S. Lewis's the Chronicles of Narnia, and Especially If You Love the Way the Series Comes to an End, Th A Sermon for Dayspring Baptist Church By Chris Fillingham “Gregory of Nyssa – Further Up. Further In.” 4th in the Series: For All the Saints Philippians 3:10-14 November 24, 2019 If you’re a fan of C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, and especially if you love the way the series comes to an end, then you have St. Gregory of Nyssa to thank. ***** C.S. Lewis actually ties the end of the series together with the beginning… just the way our bibles do. The bible starts with a Garden, the Garden of Eden. And it ends coming back home to God… in a garden… Only it seems bigger this time… there is the River of Life and a Tree of Life… and the New Jerusalem. Heaven and Earth have become one, in the garden. In the Chronicles of Narnia… Book 1 tells the story of Aslan the Great Lion creating Narnia, and the talking animals, and how a lamppost ended up in the middle of a forest, and from where the white witch came. It explains all that. And in this book you discover that there was never supposed to be a White Witch in Narnia. That wasn’t Aslan’s intention… It happened because a boy named Digory had awakened the Witch in another world… and one thing led to another… and she ended up following him to discover the new world of Narnia. So, after that happens, Aslan told Digory that he had to go on a quest to keep the White Witch at bay from destroying Narnia before it could grow and develop. Aslan explains that where the land of Narnia ends, there is a great waterfall that comes down. Beyond that, up the cliffs of that waterfall, is the Western Wild. Through the mountains beyond that, there is a green valley with a blue lake, walled in by mountains of ice. At the far end of the lake there is a steep, green, grassy hill. At the top of the hill is a garden, encircled with a wall and a golden gate. 1 In the middle of that garden, there is a special tree with a special fruit. Digory had to go into the garden, to the tree, and pluck an apple, and bring it back. And as you read the story of Digory making his way to the garden, and finding the tree, it’s pretty clear this is the Garden of Eden. There’s a great temptation with the fruit… and I won’t give away everything that happened, except to say that eventually Digory makes it back to Aslan, the great lion. And the story of Narnia continues. Now maybe you haven’t read book 1 in that series. Maybe you only know the story of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Or the story of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. or Prince Caspian. Maybe you’ve only seen the movies. But, there are actually 7 books in this series… and they are so full of great adventures, and heroic moments, and beautiful insights into our own spiritual journey and relationship with God… that we see embodied in Aslan. In fact, if you haven’t read these books as an adult… I would highly recommend you do sometime as a spiritual practice. In every book there are rich metaphors that have so much to say to our souls … and that can be both deeply moving and healing. ***** But like almost all adventures, in all the worlds we know… Narnia cannot go on forever. And book 7, The Last Battle, tells us the story of the end of all of Narnia. By the time book 7 starts, generations have gone by since anyone had seen Aslan. And so someone starts using an impersonation of Aslan the Lion to gain more power and control. Lies and deceit sow confusion among all the peoples of Narnia. It’s hard to tell what is real and what isn’t anymore… [just as it can be in our world when lies and deceit are sown]. 2 As this happens in Narnia, the great enemies of the Narnians, the Calormenes, begin to sneak in and take over. And one dark night, a battle breaks out between the last King and those who’ve remained faithful… and the Calormenes. They’re fighting on an open hill around a mysterious stable, a stable that means death for all who enter. As they battle, hope begins to fall… And one by one the children and King Tirian, the King of Narnia, and the last of the faithful Narnian animals… are shoved across the dark threshold, into the stable, and the door of death is slammed shut behind them.. It’s a shocking moment. After 7 books of great adventure, and wise trees, and talking animals, and holy callings from Aslan, and redemption and salvation and new beginnings… all our last characters… are thrust through death’s door. The world that wasn’t supposed to end, has ended. And so now what? ***** That’s the question we ask…. every time we’re faced with death’s door, isn’t it? What will happen now that they are gone? And what will happen when we… are the ones who are on the other side of that door? It’s not something we talk about a whole lot, because, the honest truth is, there is so much we don’t know, isn’t there? There are things we hope… but even that is fuzzy, isn’t it? We hope that somehow we will be in heaven with God. … but if we probe very far… we’re not even sure what that means. I mean, if someone asked you what happens when we die, 3 or what exactly heaven is… what would you say? Do you have a sense of what you even believe about that someday place? In the 4th century, there was a Christian who did a lot of thinking about those questions, and what he began to say and teach fundamentally changed the way Christianity thought about heaven and, for that matter, really the whole journey of our life with God. ****** Gregory of Nyssa was born around 335 in Cappadocia, Turkey… and became one of three people known as the Cappadocian Fathers. I’m going to give you a little Christian History Lesson here. The Cappadocian Fathers played a profound role in grounding and explaining the two defining Christian Theological Mysteries: The mystery of Incarnation: that God became human in Jesus. And the mystery of the Trinity: That God is three persons in One Essence: God is relationship of love and self. In fact, the Cappadocian Fathers are sometimes thought of as the standard bearers for what can be considered orthodox Christian Doctrine. But that wasn’t all Gregory did. In fact, one of his most brilliant and most transformational breakthroughs was about what we mean when we talk about realm of heaven. Now, I’m going to have to ask you to do a little philosophy to get this. So hang in there with me for a moment as we go down this rabbit hole. Remember that the early church lived in the Greco-Roman World. It was a Helenized world. So, the Roman Empire might have been the government, military, and economic systems in which they lived. But the Greek art, philosophy and thought were the cultural waters and beliefs in which they swam. And so, since at least the time of Plato, the common belief was that perfection was a static reality. Something that never changes. Because if it were 4 to change, that means either it’s no longer perfect, or it wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t the ideal before. Perfection must be unchanging. – Got that? Along with this, was the idea that everything of this world is a reflection of a perfect ideal reality that exists beyond this world. So, this pulpit then, is just a shadow reflection of the essence of “Pulpit.” If you see something that is beautiful, it’s a shadow of the essence of “Beauty,” itself, with a capital B. And “Beauty” with a Capital B never changes. It simply is. It’s this perfect essence of Beauty. Are you with me? So, if this is in the background of how we define perfection, then heaven must be a static place. Once you get there, you’ve arrived. There is nothing else. You just are, and God just is, in all God’s beauty and goodness and perfection. Fully. Completely. Finally. And now you’re with God, and you’re sitting there for all eternity, every perfect day like the perfect day before it… in the presence of God, world without end. And maybe that’s how you’ve imagined heaven yourself. Once you get there… the story is over. You’ve arrived. Now you can sit and play your harp for all eternity… because everyone who has ever read the Sunday Comics knows that’s what we do in Heaven. ***** But Gregory was really struck by Paul’s letter to the Philippians we heard earlier… And something about Paul’s words didn’t fit well with this image of perfection and beauty and heaven.… And so, he began to wonder, “Is unchanging perfection really the highest good?” Because Paul seems to be pointing to something else. In Philippians 3, there’s a kind of holy longing in what Paul writes… 5 And here Paul is, late in life, after years of preaching the gospel and planting churches.

Reference ISBN: 9780007588541 Shasta, a Northerner enslaved to a Calormene fisherman, dreams of escape to the free North of Archenland. With the help of a talking horse named Bree, Shasta flees, meeting another pair of fugitives along the way: Plot Aravis and her talking horse Hwin. As they journey northwards, the four uncover a plot by Rabadash, the prince of Calormene, to conquer Archenland and threaten the peace of the northern lands. They race to warn the Archenlanders and rally the Narnians to their aid. This story is set during the Golden reign of the Pevensie children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Calormene- A land South of Narnia, it is home to cruel, pagan slave lords: the Tarquins. Setting Narnia- Home of the four kings and queens of legend and kingdom of the lion Aslan, the Son of the King Beyond the Sea. Archenland- Borderland between Calormene and Narnia, populated by free people whose loyalty is to Narnia and Aslan. Shasta- The protagonist of the piece is a young boy, uneducated and neglected. Though he is immature, he has an inbred longing for freedom and justice and an indomitable hope to escape to the free North. Bree recognizes at once that he must be “of true Northern stock.” Bree- Pompous and self-important, the Narnian horse brags about his knowledge of the North and plays the courageous war-horse though he is really a coward at heart. Despite his boorish tone, he is a loyal friend.

  • The Shifting Perils of the Strange and the Familiar’: Representations of the Orient in Children's Fantasy Literature
    ‘The shifting perils of the strange and the familiar’: representations of the Orient in children's fantasy literature by Farah Ismail Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Artium (English) In the Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Pretoria 2010 Supervisor: Ms. Molly Brown © University of Pretoria Acknowledgments I would like to thank: Ms. Molly Brown, for her guidance and support My parents, Suliman and Faaiqa Ismail, for their support and encouragement Mrs Idette Noomé, for her help with the Afrikaans translation of the summary Yvette Samson, whose boundless enthusiasm has been an immense inspiration © University of Pretoria Summary This thesis investigates the function of representations of the Orient in fantasy literature for children with a focus on The Chronicles of Narnia as exemplifying its most problematic manifestation. According to Edward Said (2003:1-2), the Orient is one of Europe’s ‘deepest and most recurring images of the Other… [which]…has helped to define Europe (or the West) as its contrasting image, idea, personality, experience.’ However, values are grouped around otherness1 in fantasy literature as in no other genre, facilitating what J.R.R. Tolkien (2001:58) identifies as Recovery, the ‘regaining of a clear view… [in order that] the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness or familiarity.’ In Chapter One, it is argued that this gives the way the genre deals with spaces and identities characterized as Oriental, which in Western stories are themselves vested with qualities of strangeness, a peculiar significance. Specifically, new ways of perceiving the function of representations of the Other are explored in the genre of fantasy.

  • The Last Battle
    Quick Card: The Last Battle The Last Battle, by C. S. Lewis. Reference ISBN: 978-0060764883 Using an old lion’s skin as a disguise, Shift the monkey dupes Narnians into following a false Aslan, forsaking true Narnian ways and welcoming Plot Calormene domination. Aided by Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, King Tirian leads a band of true Narnians into battle against the invaders and their false gods. The story is set in Narnia during her last days. Foreigners threaten her Setting borders and, unlike the old days, some Narnians aid the foreigners in their attacks, betraying their own countrymen. King Tirian of Narnia- (protagonist) Still a young ruler, Tirian is impetuous and hotheaded, but well-meaning and earnest. Loyal to the end, he never falters in his efforts to protect Narnia and honor Aslan. Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole- (protagonists) More than a year older than they were in The Silver Chair, they are still young enough to be sent into Narnia to help Tirian (unlike the Pevensie children who have outgrown their adventures there). Their age helps them to adapt easily to the changes in Narnia and accept their difficult task. They give Tirian the encouragement he needs to face the end of the world. Shift the monkey- (antagonist) An evil old beast, he manipulates simpler animals into serving him. He dresses in a lion’s skin for the express purpose of hoodwinking loyal Narnians. In so doing, he demonstrates an utter lack of faith or compunction, making a farce out of the Lord of Characters Narnia to further his own ends.
