Apologetics for Lucy Pevensie of Narnia

  I recently started reading C. S. Lewis' Aslan, Cadı ve Dolap (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, obviously in Turkish).


  When I came to the part where Lucy's older siblings go the Professor to find out what they should do about her Narnian imaginings.  I noticed that the Professor used the same argument that Lewis popularized regarding the deity of Jesus in order to convince Peter and Susan of Lucy's truthfulness.  In other words, Lucy was describing something true because they had never known her to be a liar and she had not seemed to be trying to lie convincingly.  Furthermore, she wasn't crazy.  So, therefore, the Professor concluded that she must be speaking the truth (which he obviously could have guessed much more easily with his extra information from Büyücünun Yeğeni.)

 As I confirmed on Google, this is not a new observation, but it was still a fun discovery.
