 Welcome

In 2005, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe brought new life to C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series and became the second-highest grossing film of the year. This weekend Prince Caspian, the long-awaited sequel, opens, and we're bringing you some exclusive articles to help you discover the story behind the movie.

First, check out our special section on Prince Caspian, featuring interviews with C.S. Lewis's stepson and the movie's director and star, along with other articles and our review of the film coming on Thursday. Then test your Prince Caspian knowledge in a new quiz, and let us know how you felt about the first Narnia movie in this week's poll.

And be sure to take a look at the rest of our featured articles in the right-hand column of this newsletter and on ChristianityToday.com.
