Our free read this week is Joseph Pearce’s Frodo’s Journey: Discover the Hidden Meaning of the Lord of the Rings. In this book, Pearce uncovers the deeply Catholic meaning of J.R.R. Tolkein’s beloved trilogy.
Pearce illustrates why Tolkein wrote, “The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like ‘religion,’ to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism.”
For a chance to win a free copy of this book, comment on this post or its corresponding Facebook post. We will announce the winner a week from today, on November 28.
