The Gospel According to Tolkien
The Gospel According to Tolkien: Visions of the Kingdom in Middle-Earth | Ralph C. Wood
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
: 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.

Will probably rate this book 2/5 stars when I finish it, but it was a fine companion for a beautiful walk! I'm hoping to do more audiobook walks now that my health allows it again, and I think this was a really lovely start. 😊 #audiowalk #hoopla

Velvetfur That's a gorgeous view, did you take that photo? 😊 1y
Daisey I‘ll be curious to see this review. I‘ve seen this book a few times but never actually picked it up. 1y
Caterina @Velvetfur Yes! It's one of my favorite places to walk, with a gorgeous view of the San Francisco skyline. 😊 1y

Caterina @Daisey I can tag you when I post my review if you like! I'm definitely on the lookout for a good book on Tolkien & theology. I'm going to check this one out when it comes out next month: 1y
