J.R.R. Tolkien (32)
  1. As the story unfolds we see Luther’s Heidelberg theses on display, even before the Fellowship leaves Rivendell.
  2. On this night of nights, Christ arises victorious and sends the devil’s hordes running with no darkness to find cover; death’s dark shadow is gone
  3. The only thing Hobbits love more than a good meal, is good company with whom they can share it.
  4. I have found that Gandalf’s words above ring true, not only in Middle-earth, but in our world as well.
  5. It is Tolkien's adept ability at combining imagination with Sub-Creation to give his fictional world of Middle-Earth that ‘inner consistency of reality’ which points to the truth of the Gospel.
  6. Every child builds. Some build castles out of wooden blocks handed down from an older sibling. Some construct forts out of blankets, chairs, and miscellaneous living room artifacts.
  7. God wired us to be storytellers. God made man in his own image and that image includes a rational mind that communicates in large part through stories.
  8. What do imagination, Lego bricks, and Sub-Creation have to do with apologetics?
