MIDDLE-EARTH: Christian Propaganda or Pre-Christian Mythology?




The Tolkien Road show

Summary: Are we imposing Christianity onto MIddle-earth? That's what one listener thinks...<br><br>“This show is Christian propaganda disguised as a discussion of Tolkien mythology. It’s fine to be Christian, obviously Tolkien was a Christian, but Christianity doesn’t exist in Arda. The mythology was not meant to be a metaphor for Christianity/the Bible - Tolkien had said that he dislikes such devices in story telling."<br><br>In this video, I respond to that misguided accusation, and reveal what Tolkien actually thought and wrote about this topic.<br><br>MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC:<br>- Tolkien on Christ's Resurrection and the Way Things Really Do Work » Letter 89» <a href="https://youtu.be/7Sg4ZHX1zeY" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/7Sg4ZHX1zeY</a><br>- The God and Gods of Middle-earth » <a href="https://youtu.be/bzFPLXBwVbI" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/bzFPLXBwVbI</a><br>- Tolkien vs The Shadow » <a href="https://youtu.be/uNqNcxc12_A" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/uNqNcxc12_A</a><br>- Númenor's Purpose » <a href="https://youtu.be/eF309GhYZCo" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/eF309GhYZCo</a><br>- Lord of the Rings &amp; Religion Mailbag » <a href="https://youtu.be/ENYWhQ62TJw" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/ENYWhQ62TJw</a><br><br>Support / Follow My Work:<br>- tolkienroad.com<br>- patreon.com/tolkienroad<br>- twitter.com/tolkienroad<br><br>This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/5222755/advertisement">https://www.spreaker.com/show/5222755/advertisement</a>
