DESCRIPTION
Is The Lord of the Rings a Catholic story? The Lord of the Rings, while a work of pure literature, also has a philosophic dimension. Dr. Kreeft explores the distinctively Catholic metaphysics, anthropology, epistemology, ethics, and politics in what many polled readers consider the greatest book of the 20th Century.
