S5 E10: J.R.R Tolkien on Christ and Salvation

from Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More · host Mark & Adam Bishop

Want to learn how to mess with Calvinists? Need some movie recommendations? We've got both of those things covered in this episode of Unlimited Opinions! Join us as we look at how Tolkien's ideas of Christ and salvation are apparent in his writings. We look at the incarnation as seen through the Wizards; the roles of Christ as seen through Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragorn; the harrowing of Hell; and much more! All the while, we discuss whether or not it's appropriate to discuss these parallels, considering the fact that Tolkien never intentionally included an allegory for Christ in his writings.  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
