Huh? what reply?
Um, er, we aren't there yet.
I'm glad you liked the whole article at Focus on the Family, about Tolkien's motives. When all the buzz began, I did an Internet search on Tolkien and the trilogy -- it may seem hard to believe but I had never heard of his work before the movie buzz started, and I wanted to know what I would be wading into before I put on my wading boots! Focus' article really set my mind at ease. I've read a number of other articles in that genre but FotR's is, I think, the best in addressing this side of the issue.
