This week we get into the nitty gritty of the Lord of the Ring series and for some background and history of Tolkien we start off with the article 9 Things you need to know about J.R.R. Tolkien before he wrote the series. We also chat about his like and worldview and why he would have be able to be so positive though he went through some horrific things in his life.
We also read a Poem by T.S. Eliot called The Hollow Men and talk about the contrast in the worldview between Tolkien and Elliot and why they had such differing perspectives though they went through similar things in life.
Then in the meat of the episode we talk about the Creation, Fall, Redemption narrative and really focus in on the creation side in this episode. We look at and pull out some aspect of the movie that should draw our attention to this narrative as we see in the Bible.

In this show hosts Cody Anderson, Daniel Uptain, and Roy Uptain examine the Arts from a biblical perspective. We take on many different philosophical and theological views and line them up with the Scripture. We pull out the error and fallacy of the secular worldview that lies within all forms of the Arts. In doing this we examine how we are to view these arts as followers of Christ and how we need to engage our culture around us. These areas of the Arts include but are not limited to: movies, music, literature, paintings, drawings, digital, and graphic design.
