While Tolikien´s faith certainly shaped his vision of Middle Earth, he was foremost a philologist, the world´s foremost authority on Beowulf, and one of the greatest scholars of Old English and the Anglo-Saxon people. His purpose in writing the trilogy and The Silmarillion, was to re-create a "lost mythology" of the Anglo-Saxon people. His faith, his experiences in WWI, and his environmentalism/ruralism were all displayed in his works, but it was his love of language and his English heritage which spurred him to write.

Movies in which ordinary, even flawed people triumph over evil and/or tremendous adversity usually are big hits.
The LOR movie trilogy will stand as one of the greatest artisitic accomplishments of our time. I am sorry it is over as I enjoyed it thoroughly.

His Oxford friends included fellow don C.S. Lewis, author of "The Chronicles of Narnia." When they met, Lewis was a skeptic. Tolkien has the distinction of bringing back to the Christian fold the greatest Christian apologist of the 20th century.
I don't remember Lewis crediting Tolkien with this.

And Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength, his adult science fiction trilogy still in print, as well as a whole bunch of other thoroughly fantastic books.

Ping the gang?

And, fittingly, it comes in a season of hope – when mankind’s steps are illuminated by the Star of Bethlehem or the light of the menorah.A refreshing review from Don Feder, and an interesting observation.
