C.S. Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia, used the character of Aslan as an allegory for Jesus Christ. When Aslan addressing Edmund, Lucy and Eustace before sending them home, Aslan tells them they must learn to know him by another name in our world, which implies his parallel identity as Jesus Christ. Lewis has stated explicitly that he intended Aslan to represent Christ through allegory in the books, though he kept the parallels somewhat implicit so as not to be too didactic.
