Topics: J. R. R. Tolkien
Mayhem And Its Meaning
Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy might be the benchmark for grand battles, notably in the battle of Helm’s Deep in
The Two Towers
, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the Battle of Bywater in
The Return of the King

Lord Of The Fantasies: Beyond The Swordfights
In âThe Lord of the Ringsâ films, elf-maiden Arwen almost joined the fight at Helmâs Deep, and King Aragorn almost dueled the dark lord Sauron. But the movie-makers chose otherwise. How come, and how does this show truly rare heroism?

Lord Of The Fantasies: The Nature Of Men
Changes made from book-Faramir to film-Faramir, from âThe Lord of the Rings,â reflect two approaches of showing human nature. Stories should reflect both: our bent toward sin and corruption, and our capacity to do good and act with nobility.

The Inklings, Part 2 â Who Are They
The key to The Inklings was the double linchpins of their love of words and their love of Christ. But one other thing canât be ignored. These men of letters lived in Oxford, a place that fostered academic pursuits. In other words, it was no accident that so many men interested in similar subjects were in the same location at the same time. Of course, in light of Godâs sovereignty, we know it was no accident at all.

Lord Of The Fantasies: Looking Back on âFotRâ
Ten years ago, âThe Lord of the Ringsâ still sounded too âclassicalâ to me. I had my Narnia. Why add another fantasy world? Then, before reading the books or seeing the film, I heard Howard Shoreâs film score. And I was drawn into Middle-earth.

Jack And John In Conversation
In lieu of our planned article, then, I offer you a fascinating dramatization of a dialogue between C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, with thanks to Fred Warren who found it and passed it along to me because of its relevance to the just concluded series on Tolkien’s essay “On Fairy-Stories.” Enjoy!

The Making Of A Myth, Part 7 – Tolkien And The Gospel
Few people, even those not well-versed in fantasy, will argue against the idea that J. R. R. Tolkien is the master of the fantasy genre. In that he wrote his thoughts about this type of tale in his essay “On […]

The Making Of A Myth, Part 6 â Tolkien On Romance
Would J. R. R. Tolkien, if he were alive today, be a fan of prairie romance? The question is appropriate because of what he wrote in his essay “On Fairy-Stories” regarding escapism.

The Making Of A Myth, Part 5 – The Use Of Primary Colors
I wonder what J. R. R. Tolkien would think about Harry Potter. Or Twilight. Or dystopian fantasies like Veronica Roth’s
Divergent
. Would the author of “On Fairy-Stories” be a fan of the darker forms fantasy has taken in the last decade or so?

The Making Of A Myth, Part 4
Fantasy is a natural human activity. It certainly does not destroy or even insult Reason; and it does not either blunt the appetite for, nor obscure the perception of, scientific verity. On the contrary. The keener and the clearer is the reason, the better fantasy will it make.

The Making Of A Myth, Part 3
In many ways Tolkien separated himself from Christian parents today because he stated bluntly that children arenât to be protected from reality though they can and should retain the guileless wonder of childhood: Children are meant to grow up, and not to become Peter Pans.

The Making Of A Myth, Part 2
Fairy stories are for children. Or are they? J. R. R. Tolkien in his essay “On Fairy Stories” built an argument that challenged the usual assumptions. First, he believed that fairy stories had significance beyond entertainment.
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
The Making Of A Myth, Part 1
Tolkien is specific. Fairy stories are certain things and definitely not others. First they are stories about Faerie, “the realm or state in which fairies have their being,” though this realm contains much more than elves or fairies

Interacting With Culture
Are giving in to our culture as traitors or fighting against it as a lover of what is right and true our only two choices? Is there no intersection in which we who know the truth can show it to our society rather than running from the assault or turning to fight?
