I have read writings by Lewis in which he stated that he did not 
intend The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe to be a retelling of 
biblical stories, but rather he was trying to tell a story which would 
give children an understanding of what it would mean for someone to 
give his life for them.  

He might have said other things elsewhere, but I didn't think it was a 
well-documented fact, as you suggest.
