Edmund and Paul?

I know Lewis didn't intend for us to go looking for allegories in Narnia, but I couldn't help but be reminded of the apostle Paul when I read about Edmund. Edmund's 'rebellion,' as you could call it, mirrored Paul's persecution of Christians, and Aslan's talk with Edmund after he is rescued from the White Witch reminisced of Paul/Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus. Okay, these are pretty loose allegories, but what really reminded me of Paul was what Peter told Aslan after the battle was over.

" 'It was all Edmund's doing, Aslan,' Peter was saying. 'We'd have been beaten if it hadn't been for him. The Witch was turning our troops into stone right and left. But nothing would stop him. He fought his way through three ogres to where she was just turning one of your leopards into a statue.' "

Paul, after his conversion, devoted his life to serving Christ. He did this by encouraging and fighting for churches from Corinth to Antioch. And nothing would stop him. I feel that, like Edmund's influence in the battle, Paul had a huge affect on early Christianity.

Did anyone else see this similarity?
