Lewis, Tolkien, and the Contemporary World

Why have the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis remained so relevant and present in Christian thought through the 20th century and well into the 21st? Old Testament scholar Brian Doak joins president Robin Baker, theology & literature professor Jason Lepojärvi, and English professor Gary Tandy to examine their friendship, their broad appeal, and the themes of their writings.
