Heres a briefer take and the full website to a book that despite its odd hook of a title... might very well add to an even far deeper evaluation 'futher up and further in' to Lewis's Narnia series, his often over-looked space trilogy and his own favorite..Till We have Faces. I just got this book yesterday smuggled via amazon hidden amidst the Little Golden Books of Wall-E for my boy... alas i was found out. But reading so far... this book is proving to be not just good--but truly an excellent and scholarly take on Lewis's work. Thus the thread. Published by Oxford University Press...it has copious notes, both a scriptural index and a general , with also a vast bibliography that testifies to some legit research on the part of the author, Michael Ward. Good inspiration to be found do check it out.

FWIW, there is a link to one of Michael Ward's articles on this subject in the thread on 'the Narnia books'.

of great worth always thanks Peter!! i should have been more thorough in my search...so much for my multitasking when enthused so
