Welcome to the Untamed Lion

“Not like a tame lion.”

The Untamed Lion Pub is a discussion site devoted to exploring the good life in Jesus the Messiah. The name is a tip of the hat to C.S. Lewis….

Aslan is a lion—the Lion, the great Lion.

Ooh … I’d thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.

Safe? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.

He’s wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.

— The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
