Lewis, Tolkien and Barfield explore reincarnation and theosophy: "What comes as a genuine shock is the news that Tolkien's mind and work were marked by the fictional dream-journeys of George Du Maurier, by the psychic experiences of Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, by the time-travel fantasies of H. G. Wells, and especially by the notion of J. W. Dunne that ... by certain habits of mind we can move backward and forward over time as we traverse space, even experiencing events that have not yet happened....

 'Lord' films run rings around the rest because of words: "Tolkien hardly seems a likely candidate for cinema canonization. He was a lifelong academic; student of literary texts and comparative linguistics; and devotee of Norse, English and Icelandic epics who put his vast knowledge to use creating his own world and inventing the history, languages and people - and wizards, orcs and hobbits....

     "The author... spent most of his life creating and describing the imaginary fairytale world and history of which the 'Rings' cycle is only a part, inventing at least four languages, hundreds of characters and a voluminous history and archeology stretching over many centuries." See Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality"?

 

Professor carves out serious academic career in Middle Earth : "'Fantasy - more so than even science fiction - fills in gaps about important human topics that mainstream literature can't or won't deal with,' Drout says. 'The modernist impulse since World War I doesn't deal with good and evil, the problem with death, and the childlike question of why we have to die. Fantasy does that without pushing us into the religious realm."

       That's true. Fantasy provides alternate answers to life's most important questions. And those counterfeit, imaginative and feel-good answers, drawn from "creative" minds rather than our true Creator, do turn young and old from truth to myths." See 2 Timothy 4:3 and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality"?

"Lord of the Hackers" (no link without password: New York Times 3-7-02): "In the early 1970's, the computer scientists at Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory were so enamored of the books... that they designed three elfin fonts for the their printers. Two of the researchers wrote a Tolkienesque, single-player quest game that became known as 'Adventure'; it spread worldwide via the nascent Internet.

     "The personal computer movement of the 1970's and early 1980's was deeply immersed in Middle Earth and translated it into hugely popular (and enduring) role-playing games like 'Dungeons and Dragons.'... These days computer programmers appropriate the standard Tolkien palette of elves, knights, wizards and dwarfs to build their online fantasy games. They also use computational metaphors to reinterpret Tolkien, who is recast as the programmer of Middle Earth.....

     "Like the rings, the inhabitants of Middle Earth behave according to a set of rules. This is part of what makes it so easy to translate Tolkien's work in game worlds. In 'Dungeons and Dragons,' for instance, character attributes like charisma or strength are assigned according to a point system.... The few females are loved and feared as icons or charms....

      "Like Tolkien's world, most computer games are about mastery through violence; they serve as a socialization into the computer culture for adolescent boys." See Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

February

Tolkien Canonized: "Should the creator of the Lord of the Rings be acknowledged as the foremost author of the twentieth century? ... The trilogy has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, putting it well beyond the designation 'cult classic,' ...

    "Tolkien did believe in good and evil, the one sharply distinguished from the other, but his depiction of moral conflict is inescapably modern. Many of the characters in Tolkien's works are 'eaten up inside'; the work of destroying the Ring nearly undoes Frodo, the ostensible hero.... As the trilogy's unforgettable image of addictive evil, the Ring is 'part psychic amplifier, part malign power.'...The claim implied in the subtitle and expounded in the introduction rests on three factors: Tolkien's immense popularity, his status as the inventor of an entire genre, and the literary value of his work."  See Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality'?

'Rings' Film Wins Christian Fans: "Besides capturing readers' imaginations and thrilling moviegoers, the fantasy epic 'The Lord of the Rings' has won high praise from religious groups for what they see as Christian values in the story. While the extent of the trilogy's Christian parallels is a matter of debate, there's no denying that author J.R.R. Tolkien — usually portrayed as a tweedy Oxford University professor — turned strongly to Roman Catholicism following tragedies in his youth. ..Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention, published a review of the film praising its ``spiritual overtones.'' And a new book, ``Finding God in the Lord of the Rings,'' co-authored by members of Focus on the Family, a conservative American group, praises the film for the ``transcendent truths of Christianity (that) bubble up throughout this story.'' See Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality"?

 

Lord of the Rings vs. Harry: "The films Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone both feature wizards, witchcraft, special effects and good versus evil. Yet some Christians like Lord of the Rings and object to aspects of Harry Potter. What’s the difference here?

     "A: While the two films (and book series) have similarities, the main difference is how they portray the pursuit of power. In Harry Potter, power is gained through occultism as an end in itself. Even the malicious Draco Malfoy and other questionable characters are educated in wizardry at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They might someday use it for good, or they might not. In Lord of the Rings, good and evil are more clearly defined, and the main point is that power itself corrupts, especially the kind that men seek over others." Actually the line between good and evil is just as blurred in Tolkien's myth. Since magical forces -- which are evil according to the Bible -- are presented as more noble, the occult message is more subtle and deceptive.  2 Cor 11:15 and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

Which Wizard Beats 'Em All?  [by James Gorman, no link, New York Times, 1/11-02]: "Ms. LeGuin ... has written eloquently about imaginative fiction and its seriousness. Rather than being primarily about good and evil, she said, 'I think a lot of fantasy is an exploration of what power is.'... [That's true. But this "exploration" results in a new, unbiblical understanding of power -- one that blends with Christian truths, then distorts or replaces it with changeable human philosophies. See Movie Magic and Unconscious Learning]

       "Ged [the hero of 'A Wizard of Earthsea,' by Ursula LeGuin] has all the wizardly chops. He can cause storms, transform himself into a hawk, make light and split rock. He speaks to dragons. You get the sense that he and magic are connected to the very heart of the world. And that is why he's my favorite: his magic. Wizards and their magic are inseparable. It is the nature of, and the rational for, Ged's magic that make him so compelling. Gandalf and Merlin appear in their stories as already fully formed wizards, their magic taken for granted." America's Spiritual Slide

 

A ringing affirmation of a moral universe: "The Washington Post reports a surge in Bible sales. The fantasy adventure 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' is the most popular film of the holiday season. Is there a connection? Can mythology, or fairytales, lead us to faith?.... In myths, we can see the glimmerings of eternal truth."  No, we don't! When you mix Biblical truth with human myths and philosophy, you end up with a distortion of truth which is far more deceptive than an obvious lie. See Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality"?

 

Evil makes a 'comeback': "'The Fellowship of the Ring' again led last weekend's movie box office, indicating the growing appetite of Americans for good old-fashioned non-ambivalence. Will wonders never cease? J. R. R. Tolkien's tale... is a straightforward tale of straightforward good and evil. ...There are good guys and bad guys. We know whom to cheer for, whom to boo or shrink from. We always more or less knew in the past, of course, but over the last 40 years or so, we sort of lost the knack. Well (as we were assured by our Intellectual Betters, from TV newsroom, pulpit, academic lectern or signed column), it's not so simple as all that. You have to consider Root Causes. Oh? And what would some of those be, we asked. Poverty, oppression, sexism, racism, we were informed." See Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality"?

The Lord of the Rings opened Wednesday at theaters across the country. Day-time shows were sold out, not to school children as was the Harry Potter movie, but to adults who left work to celebrate their favorite story. Most were men, but when an evil orc was decapitated in one of the many gruesome battles, a woman laughed loudly. See Tolkien's  Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality'?

CAP Movie Review: "There are inevitable comparisons being drawn between Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and The Lord of the Rings.... [B]oth present wizards, sorcery and evil magic and both titillate the skyrocketing popularity of mystical occult in movies in the shadow of the attack on Christianity, feeding on it and nurturing it at the same time. Both movies use evil as good: 'white magic' to fight dark and evil occult forces. Both present fine personal qualities in characters with heroic missions to defeat evil....The bottom line is that God clearly commands that witchcraft, sorcery and wizardry are evil. He gives no situations under which these evils are not evil: no conditions under which these evils may be tolerated. There is no such thing as a 'good' witch. Not even Wendy." Rom 12:2-9

'Rings' mythical and divine [Washington Times, 12/18-01]: "Tolkien, who started teaching at Oxford in 1925, was responsible for the 1931 conversion of fellow fantasy writer and Oxford don C.S. Lewis. Both men wished to convey Christianity to a skeptical world by creating mythical worlds with the same moral contours as the Earth and a Creator who sounded suspiciously like the God of the Bible. The 500,000-word book trilogy that inspired the movie 'is a fundamentally religious and Catholic work,' Tolkien once wrote to a friend." Religious, but not Biblical. Nor was Lewis taught the true gospel that "momentous" night in 1931 when Tolkien helped him reconcile pagan myths with Biblical truth. But the former atheist was now willing to consider a more permissive and adaptable Christianity. See their letters in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or 'Discovered Reality'? It also shows why the following illustrations of Christ-like sacrifices confuse and distort the true gospel:

         "Frodo's carrying the Ring into Mordor was like carrying the cross — not only Christ carrying his cross — but us carrying our crosses in our daily lives," Mr. Pierce says. "It is only through self-sacrifice that these crosses can be borne in a way that ennobles us.' He points to the transformation of Gandalf the Grey, who lays down his life for his friends in the mines of Moria and reappears as transfigured Gandalf the White, as a kind of resurrection motif. 'His self-sacrifice purified him and made him more powerful,' he said.

       "The character of Aragorn, a hidden king who comes into his own at the end of the saga, is a type of Christ figure, says Jim Ware, co-author of 'Finding God in The Lord of the Rings' and a staff member at Focus on the Family. 'He was a good example of an incognito messiah, like Christ,' Mr. Ware says. 'Aragorn started out as a shadowy character smoking a pipe and he turns out to be the great king of Gondor.'
       "The use of symbolic characters to reflect Christian realities was all spelled out in a famous Tolkien lecture, 'On Fairytales,' he adds. There, Tolkien explained how, if God creates man, that makes man creative and able to create fantasy worlds to reflect the ultimate realities of heaven. Thus, Tolkien's characters are not just characters, they are almost archetypes."
Col 2:8  From a Biblical point of view, that's part of the problem. They seem "Christ-like", so we blend them into our understanding of Christianity -- but end up with an enticing counterfeit.

 

"Gandalf and the Sorcerer's Stone of Evil (no link: New York Times, 12-15-01): "The great triumph at the ed of J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy 'the Lord of the Rings' has a tragic tinge. ... Much that was beautiful is no more; illusions of invulnerability are shattered; dominions are made and vast migrations take place. 'Other evils there are that may come," the wizard Gandalf warns... Perhaps, in  few years, something similar will be proclaimed at the denouement of J. K. Rowling's planned seven-volume, Tolkien-indepted Harry Potter series...." J. K. Rowling has hinted at the possibility of unthinkable evils in the progression of her Harry Potter tales -- evils that may well surprise her young and idealistic fans. After all, she didn't write it for children, she says. This evil won't be revealed until her worldwide fan group have been thoroughly entranced by the Harry Potter myth.  Genesis 8:21 and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or Both'?

 

An Adored Fantasy Series Now Hints at 1990's Angst (Not Tolkien's but similar message): "...there is a coming of age quality to the entire series, in which innocents are gradually led into the heart of esoteric knowledge. One also has to suspend some well-honed critical faculties when entering this odd realm.... Abandon reality, all ye who enter here. Escape is, after all, one of the appealing aspects of fantasy fiction, a genre spawned by J.R.R. Tolkien, and now dominated by Jordan.

       "Fantasy creates a world with a seemingly autonomous set of laws, establishes premises for its invented cultures, makes sharp boundaries between Good and Evil and then sets the wheels in motion. Fantasy fiction is mechanical (and characters can become cogs), but it is also magical, evoking a realm of lost knowledge. Power is at stake, and out of struggles for power come cataclysmic battles."  Please see Deut 18:9-12 and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or Both'?

 

Tolkien movie has different worldview than Harry Potter, professor asserts: "The forthcoming movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' contains a message radically different to that of "Harry Potter" and is worthy of being viewed by Christians, R. Albert Mohler Jr. [president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary] told a recent radio audience.... While both movies contain wizards and allusions to magic, Christians have little to fear when it comes to 'The Lord of the Rings' due in large part to the fact that Tolkien was himself a committed Christian." He was a committed Roman Catholic with a mind steeped in Norse and Celtic mythology. Col 2:8

     "Gandalf, the wizard in 'The Lord of the Rings,' is an angelic. He is a being created by the One True God who is kind of an arch-angel who is sent to help people accomplish the will of the One True God. So when they do 'magic', it's not magic at all, but it is instead the angelic being which has certain abilities to do things that non-angelic beings cannot do." 2 Cor 11:15. Please read the other side in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: Truth, Myth or Both'?

      "... Another profound difference between the two movies is the fact that the setting for Tolkien's story -- the mythical 'Middle Earth' -- is one that reflects the Christian understanding of reality." The fact that he actually believes that makes the movie all the more deceptive. 

      "In Middle Earth, there is a clear distinction between right and wrong and accountability to a sovereign, holy God who is Lord of the universe...." But the accountability is to an impersonal mythical God who condones pagan practices that the true God abhors. Deut 18:9-12

      "Unlike in 'Harry Potter,' Tolkien's movie never presents a scenario in which "the end justifies the means...." It does. Tolkien's end was to create a cosmology that would in some way reflect Roman Catholic morality, but his "means" were to use the realm of the occult which has deceived God's people from the beginning of history.

     "When it comes to J.R.R. Tolkien and 'The Lord of the Rings' and C.S. Lewis and the 'Chronicles of Narnia,' I simply say that Christian parents need to take advantage of the opportunity to use those stories to help ground their children in how to think Christianly." Please don't! It will ground their children in an enticing counterfeit. Gen 8:21

 

No contest. Tolkien runs rings around Potter: "In Tolkien's world the temptation of evil is one that all, or nearly all, of his characters must confront. The argument of Tolkien's tale -- controversial, to be sure -- is that, while intentions matter, the way we act is far more important than why we act. His story, for all its narrative brio, presents a serious rebuttal to the idea that good ends justify using evil means.... It is time to shake off our moral complacency. 'Harry Potter" will not help. For all its charms, it comes close to moral fatuousness by reducing good and evil to naughty and nice. Tolkien did much more -- showing the ethical challenges we all face, as individuals and as nations. Unquestionably a writer for his times, Tolkien is also the better one for ours." This quote makes a good point, but it's not a recommendation that you see the movie. Our (still unfinished) article on The Lord of the Rings will explain why. Meanwhile, see Harry Potter and the Power of Suggestion

 

Lord of the Rings:True Mythology: "The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien has inspired more commentary, creativity and following than arguably any other modern-day work of art or literature. Surprisingly, it has also been interpreted by--and, thus, embraced by--the adherents of such wildly divergent philosophies as neopagans and evangelical Christians. ...
       "...myth, Tolkien argued, is not by necessity false--as they stem from the author's past, pain and a deep-seated Catholic faith.... Many critics have scorned the trilogy as mere escapism, but Tolkien saw it as discovered reality, that his mythmaking was an attempt to uncover what is real in the clearest way possible: "true myth." (This idea profoundly affected his close comrade C.S. Lewis and his decision of faith in Christ). Biblical imagery, many claim, abounds within the tales--which actually contain no explicit mention of God, Christ or worship.
        "This seeming ambiguity has left much room for neopagans and others to point out the abundance of gods, spirits, sprites and other mythical and pagan characters in the text."
 By definition, Tolkien's mythmaking and "discovered reality" cannot be equated with God's truth. 2 Tim 4:3-4  His Word is absolute, unchanging, not subject to man's philosophies, preferences or imagination. See Lord of the Rings

 

Controversial 'Tarot Evangelism' Outreach 'Dangerous,' Critic Says: "An internationally respected theologian has sparked a major controversy by suggesting that Christians use tarot cards to share the gospel with New Agers. Professor John Drane says that despite their strong occult links, the cards can be an effective way to get those who read them to 'consider the claims of Christ.'
      "Director of the Centre for Christianity and Contemporary Society at the University of Stirling in Scotland, Drane defended his explosive theory in the latest issue of the U.K. magazine "Christianity and Renewal" (CR). Although a specialist ministry not for everyone, if used properly it could be 'an effective evangelistic tool in relation to today's spiritual searchers,' he said. Drane, who is also visiting professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in California, said that many tarot illustrations were from Bible stories, covering 'all the significant ideas of Scripture.' He believed that 'any Christian who knew their Bible well could easily share the gospel using [them].'"
 This popular form of divination has no place among Christians. We cannot serve God by using the very tools He forbids.

Australia church bans Harry Potter from its schools: "Harry Potter might be weaving his magic around the world, but 60 Australian Seventh-Day Adventist schools have banned books about the boy wizard for fear they could encourage children to delve into the occult.... `We have not banned anyone from buying one at home, that's fine, but they do not meet our school criteria,' Hammond said."
       ``Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' opened in a record 476 cinemas around Australia on Thursday, with some schools taking all their students to the movies. Sydney's Rose Bay Primary School canceled classes to take its 142 students to the first screening of the film... Principal Peter Porteous said students were studying Harry Potter books and staff believed the movie would assist them. `It's a fine piece of literature and it deals with a lot of warmth, humor, emotions,' Porteous said. `Its a good role model for children. It shows children there is a lot of care in their lives and that they can care for one another,' he said. The movie about the boy wizard has set box office records around the world, taking more than $188 million in its first 10 days of release in North America.
        "....Hammond said that although he had not read J.R.R. Tolkien's ``Lord of the Rings,'' which is poised to become another Christmas blockbuster [opening on December 19], he believed that it had a central all powerful being, God, so it would pass the church's book criteria. `I understand that it talks about one supreme power which we should deal with as ordained in scriptures and that is God,' Hammond said."

         But Tolkien's "supreme power" empowers his mythical world of magic and magicians -- including the occult forces that our God forbids. This god cannot be the One we know and love, for God cannot be one with the occult forces He condemns. 2 Cor 6:12-18  Instead, like multitudes of other counterfeit gods, Tolkien's "power" tends to distort truth, distract attention from the true God, and deceive people -- even those who, like Tolkien, identify with His name.

Will fantasy fans grab the Ring? "The Lord of the Rings is going head to head with Harry Potter for the hearts, minds and wallets of a new generation of fantasy fans. Is the Tolkien classic harmless fantasy, evil sorcery or veiled gospel?
     "...Tolkien starts with a sizeable fan base. Since the first volume's publication in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 50 million copies and is now available in 26 languages (Hebrew is next)....

     "It is inconceivable to most fans that J.R.R. Tolkien, a devout Catholic who was almost medieval in his practice of frequent confession, could postulate a world without the God he worshiped. Of course, a lot of folks -- a whole lot -- dispute the Christian underpinnings of The Lord of the Rings. They criticize Tolkien's ironclad refusal to use explicit Christian symbols and, echoing criticism of Harry Potter, the author's preoccupation with magic....
      "Four hobbits, small, mild and comfort-loving creatures, wind up in the vortex of a cosmic battle between the armies of the Dark Lord and the few remaining strongholds of light. Other races aid and abet the hobbits. They include humans, elves (not the Santa Claus variety but "tall, powerful luminous beings"), dwarves (far more complex than Snow White's friends), and a wizard named Gandalf. ....Tolkien insisted Middle Earth is real -- not in any factual sense but because it reflects the truth of the God who created us all. He was not 'making up' Middle Earth, he said. He was uncovering a world he believed once really existed in humankind's collective imagination -- a process Tolkien called 'reconstruction.'"

More quotes from Interview with Author Joseph Pearce on 'Lord of the Rings': "Ultimately, the bearing of the Ring by Frodo, and his heroic struggle to resist the temptation to succumb to its evil powers, is akin to the Carrying of the Cross, the supreme act of selflessness.
       Throughout the whole of "The Lord of the Rings" the forces of evil are seen as powerful but not all-powerful. There is always the sense that divine providence is on the side of the Fellowship and that, ultimately, it will prevail against all the odds. As Tolkien put it succinctly, "Above all shadows rides the Sun."
     ...Goodness is the real presence of God; evil is his real absence. Tolkien has no time for the amoral relativism that is so prevalent in much of what passes as modern entertainment." We continue to highlight this article because it shows how people and churches are conforming God's truth to popular paganism.

Interview with Author Joseph Pearce on 'Lord of the Rings': "With the film release of "Lord of the Rings" scheduled for next month, Pearce mused about Tolkien (1892-1973) and his work...

       "Pearce: Tolkien spoke of myths and fairy stories, rather than "fantasy." He was a lifelong practicing, and very devout, Catholic who believed that mythology was a means of conveying certain transcendent truths which are almost inexpressible within the factual confines of a "realistic" novel. In order to understand Tolkien´s "philosophy of myth" it is useful to commence with a maxim of G.K. Chesterton: "not facts first, truth first." Tolkien and Chesterton were both intent on differentiating between facts, which are purely physical, and truth, which is metaphysical. ....There is no need for Christians to worry about the role of "story" as a conveyer of truth. After all, Christ was the greatest storyteller of all. His parables might not be factual but they are always truthful." To the contrary, there is need for concern. Tolkien's myths are presented in an occult setting which idealizes the very practices God condemned. In contrast, Jesus taught all His parables from His Father's perspective -- in a context that affirms the rest of the Bible.
      "It would be more accurate to describe the so-called magic in 'The Lord of the Rings' as miraculous, when it serves the good, and demonic, when it serves the evil." This illustrates our 8th and 9th points in
Twelve reasons not to see Harry Potter movies. We hope to write a summary of Tolkien's teachings next week.
