When you read the LOTR “back stories” Tolkien’s faith based writing becomes even more clear.

I’ve read everything Lewis wrote, some several times. Thoroughly enjoyed being in touch with another real mind when reading him.
Could never abide Tolkien. It was like being in touch with something rotting.

I am more a realist..I dislike his work and can only tolerate some of lewis’s. Maybe I am too dumb to make the connections they think are obvious

The Hobbit and LOTR was a story about good and evil. A story about the sacrifice of those who are noble and good in order to vanquish evil. A story about how the smallest among us can become the greatest in the eyes of God. They were good books.
Had I not read them originally as a teenager in the early 70's, I might not find them as enjoyable and nostalgic though.
