Christianity History and Biography has an article on Middle-Earth available online. “Good and Evil in Middle-Earth” is written by Ralph C. Wood, University Professor of Theology and Literature at Baylor University. Wood discusses the Christian underpinnings of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic works.
2 Cor 1:13
Hey thanks for the tip. I also recommend Wood’s book: “The Gospel According to Tolkien.”
I’ve read Wood’s book, along with several others, but the best – by a long shot IMHO – is “Following Gandalf” by Matthew Dickerson. He does a very good job of exploring the spiritual and moral aspects of the LOTR.
