    Love this! Tolkien may have been Roman Catholic, but he sure had it in the worldview department. His views of death – he himself said LoTR was a story about death, about how to deal with death and darkness, his understanding of brokenness, of “wounds that cannot be wholly cured…” Of the hope of life beyond death – “and there is more than memory…” So, so good!Also, bring out the Lord of the Rings anytime! Best story since, well, maybe even beyond Shakespeare. Maybe better, even, than Spencer. Certainly the best literary product of the 20th C in the English language – by far.

      His stories are RIFE with wonderful truths and nuggets. You’re absolutely right, the worldview that he brought into the stories are so rich and good and grounded in the truth of the Bible. Thanks for reading!!
