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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTolkien Dogmatics\u003c\/em\u003e, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien's entire corpus--\u003cem\u003eThe Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, \u003c\/em\u003e and beyond--as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. \u003cem\u003eTolkien Dogmatics\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin M.
