I haven't yet! Thanks for the link. I am going to end up writing BS fanfic aren't I.

I remember liking some of the stuff from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader text about that.

I guess that it comes down to a discussion of "is positive portrayal propaganda" or a "lure" and I kind of think that it isn't in all cases?

Certainly these are recycled concepts from scripture, but one could make the argument that simply suggesting that the Narnian world needed a similar kind of redemption doesn't mean that it was intended to "trick" kids into finding Jesus more interesting. And the notion that all rightful divine power comes from a central font isn't a unique or particularly Christian-specific take (in fact most would say it was false).
