Tolkien Dogmatics: Theology Through Mythology with the Maker of Middle-Earth Online Sale

Description
Tolkien Dogmatics overflows with insights and is a must-read for serious students of Tolkien. –The Gospel Coalition
Theology through mythologyJ. R. R. Tolkien was many things: English Catholic, father and husband, survivor of two world wars, Oxford professor, and author. But he was also a theologian. Tolkien s writings exhibit a coherent theology of God and his works, but Tolkien did not present his views with systematic arguments. Rather, he expressed theology through story.In Tolkien Dogmatics, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien s entire corpus–The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond–as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. Tolkien Dogmatics is a comprehensive manual of Tolkien s theological thought arranged in traditional systematic theology categories, with sections on God, revelation, creation, evil, Christ and salvation, the church, and last things. Through Tolkien s imagination, we reencounter our faith.
