J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality and Religion Richard Purtill

J.R.R. Tolkien has been voted the "Greatest Writer of the 20th Century" and the first two movies in an epic trilogy based on his The Lord of the Rings have broken box-office records around the world. But what makes his sweeping fantasy such a compelling and enduring work? Could it be Tolkien's own devotion to his Catholic Faith?

In the new audio version of Richard Purtill's book J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality & Religion, you'll discover how Tolkien's fantasy stories creatively incorporate profound religious and ethical ideas. Professor Purthill's scholarly approach reveals the moral depth of Tolkien's work and cuts through current subjectivism and cynicism regarding morality and religion.

According to Peter Kreeft, Purtill is "both a clear and commonsensical philosopher Discovering him is like meeting Strider in the Inn at Bree: we have found a Ranger, a reliable guide through middle-earth."

Order today and enjoy brilliant insights into Tolkien the man, the author and the Roman Catholic.
