"Tolkien's Faith and the Formation of Middle-earth" with Holly Ordway

Tolkien declared, “I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories).” His writings were not allegories, so how, then, were his faith and his fiction related? Ordway explores this question biographically, looking at some of the ways that Tolkien’s dramatic life story, including his being raised by a Catholic priest at the Birmingham Oratory, and his experiences in the Great War, shaped his faith and found their way – in a subtle and complex manner – into his writings. This event was part of a book launch for "Tolkien's Faith: A Spiritual Biography" by Holly Ordway. Part of the Stephen & Marjorie Mead Endowment for Spiritual Formation. Co-sponsored by the Marion E. Wade Center and Wheaton College Tolkien Society. This lecture took place at the Marion E. Wade Center on September 26, 2023. Wade Center call number: JRRT-Y / VR-34
