Is Netflix's "Translan" Hijacking C.S. Lewis's Aslan?

In this episode of Christian Perspective on the News on Radio Cape Pulpit, Dr. Peter Hammond asks a crucial question: Are we changing the world for the better, or is the world changing the church? Dr. Hammond examines the disturbing trend of secular culture hijacking beloved Christian works, focusing on Netflix's upcoming reboot of C.S. Lewis's Narnia series. He discusses reports that director Greta Gerwig plans to portray Aslan as a David Bowie-inspired "Translan," complete with gender-bending imagery and a female voice actor (Meryl Streep). Dr. Hammond reminds listeners that C.S. Lewis explicitly stated Aslan is Jesus, and warns against the church adopting "moral therapeutic deism" instead of the true Gospel. He concludes with four marks of a real Christian, shared by a persecuted pastor in Romania: loves God, loves to study the Bible, loves to pray, and hates sin. Christians are called to be salt and light—transformed by God's Word, not conformed to this world.
