Ep. 218 - Tolkien as Philologist and Oxfordian Catholic w/Dr. Yannick Imbert
Parker's Pensées
Tolkien's Mythology
Tolkien is not a theologian. He always said, no, he doesn't do theology. Good gracious, he does not theology. I don't know what it is. It's an amazing passage. So if you guys have not read on fairy stories, the first part is a bit maybe boring for someone who's not aware of what Tolkien is doing.
