Here's where an article can be found.

 

 

Anyone here like the movie?

 

Plan to see Lewis'?

 

 

Hello rj1,

Welcome to the board.  Interesting article by Kreeft, it’s true, much myth became fact in Christ.

 

So anyways, what led you to this site?   What’s your perspective of the following quote “He could have used the philosophy of Sauron, of the Ring. He could have used force and compelled Gollum, or even justly killed him. But no one can make another person good by controlling his will, not even God. Frodo nearly won Gollum by his kindness, but Gollum chose not to trust and lost both his body and his soul. Frodo failed.”

 

 

 I love C.S. Lewis books and look forward to taking the family to see Narnia.

Contradictions if well understood and managed can spark off the fires of invention. Orthodoxy whether of the right or of the left is the graveyard of creativity.

It would have been nice to have found this a couple years ago when I was reflecting on the movie with a friend of mine.

 

This lecture helped me better appreciate how Tolkien was taking an incarnational approach rather than the overtly analogical approach that Lewis uses in his story.  Kreeft explained well how the 12 clauses of the Nicene creed can be found under the surface in the Tolkien trilogy.

 

One interesting section in the lecture (at about 45 minutes into it) contrasts Christ with Vampires.  I was reminded of the conversation we had with Violin while she was in town... her dad's a literature professor (I think) and he's really into this topic.
