Summary

In this accessible and engaging book, Ralph Wood shows us that J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece is a deeply Christian work because it does not blink back the horrors of our terrible times but confronts them with startling honesty.

Readers keep turning to this work because here they are immersed in significance and meaning - perceiving the Hope than can be found amidst despair, the Charity that overcomes vengeance, and the Faith that springs from the strange power of weakness. The Gospel According to Tolkien will be loved by both longtime Tolkien fans and those recently drawn to his books through the popular feature films.

Very interesting!

Absolutely worthy to be listened and I'm going to listen again.
Tolkien's mythology is so profoundly rooted in the Gospel and the Lord of the Rings has so many interchangeable references to Christ, Mary, virtues etc... beautiful and uplifting to read.
