Episode 12 - Tolkien & Christian Imagination

In today's episode we have special guest André from the 'Two-Age Sojourner' speak to us about the importance of Tolkien and fantasy for a disenchanted world. What was supposed to be a quick 10 minute intro became a nerd-sesh on Middle Earth!! 

 

Ever since the enlightenment, the world has become grey, glum and gloomy. Everything feels natural and secular. We live in a disenchanted world, and it has led to a great deal of anxiety and despair in our world today. How can we rectify disenchantment? It could be that what we need more than ever is a re-enchantment of the world through fantasy, myth and storytelling. Join us for a 'eucatastrophe' as we delve into Tolkien's importance of imagination, the beauty of friendship and courage, and the need for a King who will bring ultimate rest.
