On Tuesdays Nov. 12 - Dec. 10, I'm going to be teaching a 5-part class titled TOLKIEN: GODS, MONSTERS & MYTH, sponsored by the Orthodox Studies Institute.
REGISTER: www.orthodoxstudies.org/courses/tolkien
FULL DESCRIPTION:
Author and Oxford professor J. R. R. Tolkien was steeped in the legends and lore of the Bible, Christian history, and pagan mythology. Millions have enjoyed his fantastic fictional world, with scholars and fans pointing out its Christian themes, yet some say that the professor was secretly or at least sympathetically pagan. What light can insights from Orthodox Christianity shed on this question? Just where does Tolkienâs mythology come from?
Join Orthodox Christian archpriest and Tolkien and Mythology scholar Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick for 5 nights in November and December 2024 to find out.
SESSION 1: The True Myth: How J. R. R. Tolkien Introduced Me to Orthodox Christianity
SESSION 2: Tolkienâs Gods: The Divine Council of Arda â Pagan or Christian?
SESSION 3: The Giants of NĂșmenor and Isengard: Genesis, Atlantis and Beowulf in Tolkienâs Tales of Giants and Gigantomachy
SESSION 4: The Enchanting Orc: Incarnating the demonic in The Story of Kullervo and âOf TĂșrin Turambarâ and Why the Hero Kills Dragons Alone
SESSION 5: Harrowing the Barrow: The descensus ad inferos in âFog on the Barrow-downs,â as seen through Ancient and Classical Religious Sources
