Reviews

<p> A superb book that blends academic rigor with a clear passion for the subject. -- Christian Marketplace magazine


If anyone asks me what one book about Tolkien is the most worth reading, The Power of the Ring is my reply. --Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy, Boston College, and author, Socratic Logic


[...] Caldecott examines and elucidates the underlying Christian aspect of Tolkien s symbolism within his fantastical universe. A thoughtful reader with no religious background will learn much about the complexity of Tolkien s fictitious universe [...] The trilogy is much more than a whimsical fairyland; behind it lies a profound knowledge of ancient mythopoeic tradition, baptized by a Catholic imagination. Francis Phillips, The Catholic Herald
