A Santa Claus Non-Believer Discovers Tolkien’s Father Christmas Letters
I’ve just discovered Tolkien’s Letters From Father Christmas. I found them charming–but they also got me thinking about truth, tradition, and stories.

There and Beowulf Again: Providence and Plot in Tolkienâs Hobbit
Beowulf is known as a pagan myth, but it was penned by a Christian writer. The Hobbit borrows from Beowulf and shows how Tolkien used mythology to show forth Christian truths.

Redeem Your Halloween
Answers in Genesis took a look at Halloween–this article looks over their idea that Halloween may originate in the Flood of Noah’s time. While I disagree, they did make statements about Halloween worthy of “holding fast to.”
