Lent of the Rings, First Sunday in Lent, Video 2: Patience

Pastors Josh and Lisa prepare for the First Sunday of Lent. This week's conversation covers up to Chapter Four, Treebeard, of Book Three (the first book in The Two Towers). We talk about patience and impatience, the speed of man and the slowness of Nature - and the Ents. Please check our website https://ttandt.org for more information and schedules! 2:48 Texts are available here: https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt... 3:46 Dan Erlander, Manna and Mercy, page 42 (Pastor Joshua uses this text for confirmation classes) 10:17 In Tolkien's explanations, he tells how Rohan is very much built out of Anglo-Saxon history and systems, partly due to Tolkien's love of their epic poetry. Their language and their culture are more or less ripped directly from the pages of Beowulf. The syllable Eo, found in Eorwyn, Eomer, Eorlingas, etc, is from Earl, from Jarl, a Saxon word. Those Jarls would be established by kings in distant parts of their kingdom to direct, rule, and collect taxes on behalf of the King. 11:35 Pastoralism is at heart an idealization of the countryside (itself an idealized image) that places it as a simple, uncomplicated, peaceful, and therefore better life. The way the Shire is presented is especially so - though watch out for what happens to The Shire by the end of the narrative! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastoral 12:32 From Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel, Wyrd Sisters: “That would have to be important. How fast did a forest’s heart beat? Once a year, maybe. Yes, that sounded about right. Out there the forest was waiting for the brighter sun and longer days that would pump a million gallons of sap several hundred feet into the sky in one great systolic thump too big and loud to be heard.”
