Actually, the Tash / Aslan argument is more about God being able to reach people regardless of what they're raised to believe than "All roads lead to God". The book doesn't state that Aslan is Tash, but that the people who were raised believing in Tash, but did Aslan's will were really following Aslan, not Tash.

I know the book does not state Aslan is Tash. You are actually saying the same thing I am, but with different conclusions. I am saying there is only one way to God through Jesus. Do you really believe someone can be doing God's will (as opposed to being unknowingly used by God) if they follow another religion? Of course God can reach these people and often does, but in the book there is no change of heart, no one brought him to Aslan, it is literally a "good" person being rewarded even though they are following another god.
I wanted to add something I just thought of. What is doing God's will? Surely it is trusting in Christ as our Lord and Saviour, living God's way and growing to be more like Jesus and telling others the Good News. Many people do good deeds and are good people, but there is still only one way to be part of God's family.
They are a great series with lots of good Christian messages. Not to be confused with books likeThe Golden Compass.
