Lore of the Rings Interview » Why and How The Lord of the Rings is a "Religious and Catholic Work"

Hey there, fellow travellers!
Merry Christmas! I was recently a guest on the Lore of the Rings podcast - that's L-O-R-E - where I joined host Aaron to discuss the ways in which Lord of the Rings is a "fundamentally religous work".
We uncovered:
- The grace Faramir says before sharing a meal with Frodo and Sam.
- The liturgical significance of March 25 — the day the One Ring was destroyed.
- The mysterious Three Prayers of Númenor, preserved in Unfinished Tales.
- Why Tolkien preferred absorbed symbolism over overt allegory.
I wanted to share a portion of this interview on The Tolkien Road's podcast feed, but you really need to go check out the whole thing over on Aaron's feed.

Enjoy!
