The Philosophy of JRR Tolkien – His Religious Views

This is actually part 1 of my analysis of the philosophy/world view of JRR Tolkien. In this video we deal with his religious world view, and how it influenced his work. I wanted to do this because 1) I find this information both interesting and useful, and those interested in writing their own stories might find it useful, and 2) there are ongoing attempts to drag JRR Tolkien and his works through the mud, so I want people to have a proper understand of the man and his work. I decided to break the discussion of his philosophy into two parts because there is so much information, but I still recommend that everyone interested in the life and work of JRR Tolkien read his letters, and the biography.

A PDF of his letters is available online for free download.
