Having grown up at a time when Catholic schools did not use Catholic textbooks, nor had Catholic teachers, we young students had no idea Tolkein was Catholic, much less how he had woven the faith into his tales. We would find his books shelved in the mish-mash of the Science Fiction\u002fFantasy section of bookstores. Worse, the people we encountered who had read his books were not exactly literary types, so they found meanings in the story that didn;t exist, nor intended by the author. So we - and our parents - who had never even heard of him or his work, looked askance at the books or else read them with no understanding like Candace;s eunuch before God brought Philip to his chariot. Thank you Dr Pearce and TAN Books for opening the treasure box and recovering the Catholic heritage of which we have been robbed for so many decades.","date":"Sep 16th 2022"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"Tolkien,Hobbit,Frodo,Middle Earth,Tom Bombadil,Shire,Mount Doom,JRR","show_quantity_input":1,"title":"The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction","gift_wrapping_available":false,"min_purchase_quantity":0,"customizations":[],"images":[{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f14193\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__41305.1744046575.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "},{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f15753\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__32174.1744049462.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "},{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f13954\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__78139.1744046144.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "},{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f15785\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__38707.1744049549.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "},{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f15194\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__47642.1744048459.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "},{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-iuax7bpgx3\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f1954\u002f15213\u002fthe-hidden-meaning-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-theological-vision-in-tolkiens-fiction__38397.1744048482.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings: The Theological Vision in Tolkien's Fiction "}]}
