MIDDLE-EARTH: Christian Propaganda or Pre-Christian Mythology?

from The Tolkien Road · host The Tolkien Road

Are we imposing Christianity onto MIddle-earth? That's what one listener thinks...“This show is Christian propaganda disguised as a discussion of Tolkien mythology. It’s fine to be Christian, obviously Tolkien was a Christian, but Christianity doesn’t exist in Arda. The mythology was not meant to be a metaphor for Christianity/the Bible - Tolkien had said that he dislikes such devices in story telling."In this video, I respond to that misguided accusation, and reveal what Tolkien actually thought and wrote about this topic.MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC:- Tolkien on Christ's Resurrection and the Way Things Really Do Work » Letter 89» https://youtu.be/7Sg4ZHX1zeY- The God and Gods of Middle-earth » https://youtu.be/bzFPLXBwVbI- Tolkien vs The Shadow » https://youtu.be/uNqNcxc12_A- Númenor's Purpose » https://youtu.be/eF309GhYZCo- Lord of the Rings & Religion Mailbag » https://youtu.be/ENYWhQ62TJwSupport / Follow My Work:- tolkienroad.com- patreon.com/tolkienroad- twitter.com/tolkienroadBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
