The Ultimate Story of Hope | JRR Tolkien’s “Eucatastrophe” and the Resurrection of Christ (209)

Eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien’s stories—like the eagles’ arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien’s concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ. The episode highlights how Tolkien’s deep Christian faith informed his view of hope, sorrow, and redemption, and reflects on how these themes continue to resonate today. My Favorite Resurrection Story Two Believers unknowingly walk with the Resurrected Christ, who explains the scriptures about Himself, and eventually, breaks bread—reminiscent of the Sacrament.
