Description

Tolkien's Faith: A Spiritual Biography by Holly Ordway explores the intricate relationship between J.R.R. Tolkien's faith and his fiction. This deeply researched study sheds new light on the author's spiritual development, a journey marked by significant challenges and triumphs. Tolkien's faith was shaped by his Anglican upbringing, which was later transformed by his mother's conversion to Catholicism. This pivotal event, combined with the loss of close friends in World War I, had a profound impact on his reliance on his faith. Despite facing turmoil in the Church, Tolkien's convictions remained strong, influencing his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. This spiritual biography offers a fresh perspective on Tolkien's works, revealing the subtle and complex connections between his faith and fiction.
