"Pagan" was C.S. Lewis' own description of himself before he converted to Christianity. He says he loved Baldur long before he loved Christ. The turning point came during a long walk with Tolkien in September, 1931, when Tolkien explained to him that Jesus is "the One True Myth," --- the one time when all the things which all ancient peoples hoped for in their heart-of-hearts--- and all the things we hope for ---- actually, really, truly happened.

Dang I should have known that, I have most of Lewis's books sitting right here on my desk including his auto bio....oh well.

I do remember the story about Tolkien referring the Christianity as the one true myth.....the one that really happened....powerful stuff....GK Chesterton had similar insights.

Bad link, sweetie. This is going to be a most interesting subject. The boys and I saw a trailer at the last movie we attended. Could not discern any plot line but the production values looked like what Peter Jackson brought to LOTR.
