Digging deep into J. R. R. Tolkien's spiritual biography--his religious scholarship and his love of both Christian and pagan myth--Stratford Caldecott offers a critical study of how the acclaimed author effectively created a vivid Middle Earth using the familiar rites and ceremonies of human history. And while readers and moviegoers alike may appreciate the fantasy world of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, few know that in life, Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic and that the characters, the events, and the general morality of each novel are informed by the dogmas of his faith. Revised and updated, this acclaimed study of Tolkien's achievement--previously released as Secret Fire in the UK--includes commentary on Peter Jackson's film adaptations and explores many of the fascinating stories and letters published after Tolkien's death.

The Lord of the Rings is intended to be applicable to the real world of relationships, religion, pleasure, pain, and politics. Tolkien himself said that his grand tale of wizards, orcs, hobbits, and elves was aimed at truth and good morals in the actual world. Analysis of the popular appeal of The Lord of the Rings (on websites and elsewhere) shows that Tolkien fans are hungry for discussion of the urgent moral and cosmological issues arising out of this fantastic epic story. Can political power be wielded for good, or must it always corrupt? Does technology destroy the truly human? Is it morally wrong to give up hope? Can we find meaning in chance events? In The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy, seventeen young philosophy professors, all of them ardent Tolkien fans and most of them contributors to the four earlier volumes in the Popular Culture and Philosophy series, address some of these important issues and show how clues to their solutions may be found in the imaginary world of Middle-earth. The book is divided into five sections, concerned with Power and the Ring, the Quest for Happiness, Good and Evil in Middle-earth, Time and Mortality, and the Relevance

"Rarely does a book come along that offers a highly original and compelling understanding of Tolkien's imaginal world. The Lure of the Ring is such a book. The Lure of the Ring takes us on a fascinating journey through the hearts and minds of some of Tolkien's most colorful characters in The Lord of the Rings, exploring with depth and insight how they respond to the allure of the One Ring. The primary focus is on two contrasting figures, the Dark Lord Sauron and Tom Bombadil - Tolkien's most enigmatic figure. Drawing on the deepest understandings of the psychology of addiction, the seductive allure of power, the stages of psychological development, and nondual spirituality, The Lure of the Ring provides a novel and thought-provoking answer to the most puzzling question in Tolkien lore: "Who is Tom Bombadil?" Offering unprecedented insights into Tolkien's characters, The Lure of the Ring also extends to readers an invaluable opportunity to explore more deeply their own relationship to power, addiction, psychological development and spiritual transformation" --
