Tolkien have had a far-reaching impact on culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In print and on film, Tolkien's works seem to be incredible epics, but religious aspects are less obvious. Yet Tolkien himself stated in his letters that the chief conflicts of his epic works were \"about God, and His sole right to divine Honour,\" and whether Sauron can wrest and destroy all that is good in Middle-earth. It is from this that readers awaken to the theological truths that imbue Tolkien's works. In \u003ci\u003eTheology and Tolkien: Constructive Theology\u003c\/i\u003e, an international group of scholars consider how Tolkien's works (and Jackson's interpretations) can help us build better theologies for use in our world today. From essays on the music of creation in the Ainulindal?, to angels, demons, and Balrogs, to Tolkien's theology of God, providence, evil, and love, to the eschatology of the Final Chord of the Great Music, this book invites the reader to journey through Middle-earth as the contributors engage the theology of Tolkien's works and its impact on the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Estes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978712634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978712638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Douglas Estes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46070216458495,"sku":"9781978712638","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6287ce65-110d-49c9-82ee-58ca50b63f6c.jpg?v=1724242616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theology-and-tolkien-douglas-estes-9781978712638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
