Is Aslan a God, or just a very old entity? I haven't read the books.

He's 100% an allegory for the Christian God, but idr if he's the canonical God in Narnia itself.

He's literally sacrificed as a Christ figure

In the third book, he basically outright says he's Jesus.

When Edmund and Lucy are told they won't be returning to Narnia, Edmund asks if Aslan is also in the human world.

“Are you there too, Sir?” Edmund asks. “I am,” said Aslan. “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”

The whole book series is an allegory for the bible.

  • The Magician's Nephew is an allegory of Genesis
  • the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe is an allegory of Christ
  • and the Last Battle is an allegory of Revelations

He says quite clearly that on earth his form is a lamb instead of a lion, and the last book is a straight eschaton.
