This sermon was preached on the Last Sunday of Ordinary Time after Epiphany — February 23, 2020 — at the Fork Church of St Martin's Parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien help us get over the hermeneutic of suspicion and take St Peter's reflection on the event of the Transfiguration seriously.

Note: A parishioner who is a former Librarian asked me to clarify that the Library of Congress (and all academic libraries) has a section for Literature and that novels aren't placed willy-nilly in the stacks.
