'Narnia' Bible Study

Prince Caspian brought in more than $56 million over the weekend in the U.S. and Canada, and an additional $20 million overseas. Like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, this C.S. Lewis classic is providing an opportunity for evangelism.

Just as the new Disney film opens in theaters nation-wide, a Christian group, Outreach Incorporated, is launching a massive Bible study program based on this C.S. Lewis classic.

"If we go back to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, when the kids left Narnia, Narnia was a place of faith. And Aslan was present. When we fast forward and they go back into Narnia a year later it's been 1,300 Narnia years," Evans said.
"During that 1,300 years when the kids go back, there is no more faith," he added.

The strong biblical lessons of Prince Caspian drive home spiritual truths, Evans said.
