34 min - How Did Tolkien's Catholicism Influence His Writing? An Interview with Dr. Edwin Woodruff Tait
In a letter to Robert Murray in 1953, Tolkien said "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision."
But does that mean only Catholics can enjoy it? This week we are joined by Dr. Edwin Woodruff Tait to discuss how Tolkien's faith influenced his stories and what anyone, whether Catholic or not, can learn from it.
