Discover
the Christian meaning in The Hobbit.
In Bilbo's Journey go beyond the dragons, dwarves, and elves, and discover the
surprisingly deep meaning of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel The Hobbit.
Bilbo's quest to find and slay the dragon Smaug is a riveting tale of daring
and heroism, but as renowned Tolkien scholar Joseph Pearce shows, it is not
simply Bilbo's journey, it is our journey too.
It is the Christian journey of self-sacrifice out of love for others, and abandonment
to providence and grace.
In Bilbo's Journey: Discovering the Hidden Meaning of The Hobbit you will relive
the excitement of Tolkien's classic tale, while discovering the profound Christian
meaning that makes The Hobbit a truly timeless adventure.
