103. The Lord of Rings and Lord of Lords
from Ravel · host Ravel LLC
What do Samwise Gamgee and Superman have in common? What about Gandalf and Aslan? Emily brings a discussion about the "Christ figures" found in works of fiction, why they resonate with us, and whether we can name Christ figures in our own lives. We discuss the difference between a narrative Christ figure and an IRL person acting Christ-like, while also pondering the unique meta-narrative of the crucified God.Mentioned in the Episode:Resurrection of SupermanThe Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR TolkienThe Chronicles of Narnia by CS LewisThe Rings of Power on Prime VideoLes Miserables on Prime VideoA Tale of Two Cities by Charles DickensThe Heroine's Journey Robcast EpisodeThe Brick BibleThe Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor DostoevskyCritical Role on TwitchSupport us:Join our Patreon community and buy us a drink at patreon.com/ravelpod for as little as $3/mo!Order coffee and other merch at highline.network/shop!Take a minute to drop us a 5-star rating and a 1-2 sentence review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
