Meaningful Conversations With Delicious Beverages
Wrapping up their look at examples of priests, prophets, and kings in the Lord of the Rings, AJ and Brandon compare the rule of Aragorn and Denethor, steward of Gondor. They also crystalize some of the patterns between all three offices and think about what that means for their own lives.
This week, AJ and Brandon continue looking at Middle Earth and Christ's three offices being depicted. This time, it's with a look at the priesthood as seen in Gollum and Frodo (and Sam).
As they continue to discuss Tolkien's Silmarillion, AJ and Brandon hone in specifically about the creation myth and the unique, central role of creation myths in the context of fairy tales as they discussed last week.
As we bring a close to our summer at the movies, AJ and Brandon turn to our other patron Inkling, JRR Tolkien, and Peter Jackson's film adaptation. While there isn't one Christ figure in Tolkien's work, we take a look at three people who embody Christ's offices as priest, prophet, and king.
