By the way, I did read JRRT’s authorized biography. Tolkein it seems had many conversations with C.S. Lewis within their mutual writer’s club (the Inklings). It seems JRRT convinced Lewis to become a Christian. I have known at least one Christian who disliked Lewis because of his earlier paganistic writings. I hope not to be judged based on my youthful ignorance.
I might of disliked Paul too before he “saw the light” as it were. That and hiding from his pack of anti Christian “dragoons” who were seeking to arrest Christians at the time of his conversion.
What would your Christian friend say to The Apposle Paul? or even Peter? Matthew? Etc..? Grace, where is the grace?
