This paper explores the biblical discourse in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Therefore, parts of the discourse of the novel are compared to verses of the bible. For the analysis of the biblical discourse, the theoretical concepts of “representation” and “discourse” are described and applied to the novel. The discussion of this paper further puts the biblical discourse of the novel in the context of the concepts of “representation” and “discourse”. It has been found that there is a second level of meaning to some of the novel's discourse, which encloses central biblical messages. Nevertheless, every reader of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" may make sense of its discourse differently, as it is him or her who makes things mean.
