VFTB 315: Timothy Furnish – Political History of Middle-Earth

from A View from the Bunker · host Derek & Sharon Gilbert

HISTORICAL FICTION is a popular genre, but J.R.R. Tolkien may have been the only author ever to create a fictional world so convincingly real that it can be analyzed as history. Somewhat surprisingly, that hasn't been attempted until now.Dr. Timothy Furnish, who normally writes on Islamic history and eschatology, joins us to discuss his fascinating new book, High Towers and Strong Places: A Political History of Middle-Earth.Note: Ebook editions (EPUB and MOBI) available from the publisher here.Discuss these topics at the VFTB Facebook page and check out the great Christian podcasters at the Revelations Radio Network.Download a smaller, lower-fidelity version of the mp3 of this show by clicking here.
