GKC and JRRT - as Theologians

It had to happen in the end.

After some hundred studies of their Biographical, Cultural, Ethical, Historical, Literary, Mythical, Parodical, Periodical, Philosophical, Poetical, Political and Witty writings and achievements (from various Biographical, Cultural, Ethical, Historical, Literary, Mythical, Parodical, Periodical, Philosophical, Poetical, Political and Witty angles), now the time even has come for a study of perhaps the most important aspect that powers Chesterton and Tolkien's works. In short, Theology.


Though the author, Alison Milbank, is not the Milbank of Radical Orthodoxy fame, Chesterton and Tolkien as Theologians: The Fantasy of the Real seems well worth reading (and hopefully easier to grasp).


Especially when the price is a bit down.
