Professor and Tolkien scholar, Michael Jahosky, joins me on the show to discuss his book, The Good News of the Return of the King: The Gospel in Middle Earth. We talk about myth, parables, fairy stories and allegories and what they have to do with The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. Michael is also the host of the Mythic Mission podcast where he explores the intersection of myth and various disciplines of the Humanities from a Christian perspective with J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
