Philip hosts this episode solo, discussing the profound impact of J.R.R. Tolkien's Christian worldview on 'The Lord of the Rings.' He examines four key aspects: a sovereign hand, universal morality, good versus evil, and inner temptation and explains how the story of Middle-earth wouldn't have the same impact without these elements. Philip also references key sources including Tolkien's letter to Robert Murray and Devin Brown's book, 'The Christian World of the Hobbit.'
