Ransom’s blind absolute faith in Oyarsa can be seen as like one’s faith in God. In Perelandra, the first connection I saw was in the character Oyarsa. So it is of no surprise that faith leaks into his other books. Having written Mere Christianity and Surprised by Joy, it is clear that Lewis enjoys and is incredibly gifted at writing about his own faith. Many of the characters in Perelandra have a counterpart that can be seen in the bible. Lewis wrote many books dealing with faith and Christianity, and because of that, he cannot help to make his fantastical journey in space connect on a deeper level to biblical ideas. Perelandra is filled with biblical references, most specifically to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Perelandra, the second book of Lewis’ Space Trilogy, can easily be seen as allegorical by the way the Ransom’s journey on Venus has a deeper/hidden meaning.
