S5 E12: The Christian Life in Tolkien's Writings

Mark & Adam Bishop Season 5 Episode 12

In this episode, we talk about Matt Walsh's What Is A Woman?, the early 2000's children's show 3-2-1 Penguins, and a whole lot of other things that tangentially relate to our main topic! We break down exactly how J.R.R. Tolkien presented the Christian life throughout his writings, discussing the everyday practices of grace, mercy, repentance, humility, and prayer; the concept of Christian ethics; and even Tolkien's political beliefs! We look at all these concepts through the characters of The Lord of the Rings, other writings such as Leaf by Niggle, and even Tolkien's own life.
