CS Lewis and the יראי אלוקים (Oh and this is basically one big spoiler)

I was reading the last book of the Chronicles of Narnia (The Last Battle) on Shabbos, and I found something I thought was pretty interesting.

I don't know how many people have read this particular book, but (SPOILER ALERT!!!) at the end of it, all the good creatures come out of Narnia, and Narnia is destroyed. There is a big battle, and in the midst of it are a group of dwarves who are only "for the dwarves." They don't care who wins the war: the Narnians or their enemies. They only care for themselves. They also seem to think very highly of their own intellects. Sound familiar?

I'm not really making any sense explaining what's going on in the book, but if anyone actually cares enough to want to read it to figure out what's really going on, I have the book, and you can borrow it. Also, here are pictures of that pages with what I'm talking about:

The part that grabbed my attention was that this group of dwarves made it into "Aslan's Country", meaning to say that they escaped the destruction of their world, but they couldn't appreciate any of it because they didn't even realize where they were. (You should really read it, cuz I'm completely messing it up.) Anyway, the dwarves think that they're stuck in a dirty stable with dirty water and rotten horse feed, when really they're in heaven with amazing food and drinks in a beautiful meadow. Everyone tries to convince them of this, but they don't believe any of it. Eventually Aslan just tells everyone trying to convince the dwarves that "[t]hey will not let us help them. They have chosen cunning instead of belief."

Finally getting to the point at hand, this seems to be a direct contrast between the חכם and the יראי אלוקים. CS Lewis seems to think that belief is more important than knowledge, or in his words, "cunning". Perhaps to him, the יראי אלוקים is the one who knows what's going on, and the חכם will be unable to appreciate anything, in this world or the next, because of his need for validation through his own intellect and experience.

I don't know if any of that made sense to anyone, but when I noticed that, I wanted to get it out there to see what other people thought.... so lemme know!
