23rd April 2025: Tolkien among the Theologians published

Tolkien among the Theologians (edited Austin M. Freeman) is now published.

Can Tolkien be considered a theologian? In this collection of essays, scholars bring Tolkien into conversation with theologians from the patristic era to the 20th Century: Augustine, Boethius, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton, Hans Urs von Balthasar, John Paul II, and the Birmingham Oratorians. Far from siloing o  his expertise into a single fi eld, Tolkien was an interdisciplinary thinker with a synthetic mind that drew from the full breadth of the Great Tradition to construct a compelling account of God and all things in relation to God.
