In popular imagination, Tolkien is a Luddite, but recent scholarship has identified Tolkien's extensive modern sympathies. Tolkien, Philosopher of War contributes to this growing literature. His is a modern critique of Enlightenment thinking, specifically those philosophies that wrest the initiative from God in divinizing man. His worry is apocalyptic politics—political movements that take Christ's word out of the realm of grace and make it a platform for political action.

At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation. 

In How Catholics Encounter the Bible, award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics—a book central to their tradition, but not usually in the form of a book. Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling, artistic imagination, and ritual.

The Old Testament is not merely a collection of ancient writings; it is the heartbeat of history, the foundation of faith, and the unshakable framework upon which the world’s moral, spiritual, and cultural fabric has been woven. It is a saga of triumphs and tragedies, a testament to divine promises and human frailty. In its pages, we encounter the raw power of creation, the depths of human rebellion, and the unyielding grace of a God who remains faithful despite our failings.

This is a coming of age story full of rich spiritual imagery inspired by “The Temple Legend” by Rudolf Steiner. Once upon a future time, there was a youth named Juan Estrella, who lived with his grandfather in a fertile valley by the sea. The youth’s wise old grandfather often told him stories of an ancient lost temple of gold, which was buried beneath the sand centuries ago. Juan marveled at his tales, and longed with all his heart to build temples of gold that would not be swept away by time.

First published in 1925, The Everlasting Man is in many ways a direct rebuttal to H.G. Wells’s The Outline of History, wherein he states that man is merely a development from animal life, and that Jesus was just a charismatic figure. Although a popular secular idea at the time, Chesterton believed otherwise. He argued that in order to understand both humanity and history, we ought first to recognise the uniqueness of both man and Christ.
