The conversation, sometimes heated, about the influence of
Christianity on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien has a long history.
What has been lacking is a forum for a civilized discussion about
the topic, as well as a chronological overview of the major
arguments and themes that have engaged scholars about the impact of
Christianity on Tolkien's oeuvre, with particular reference to The
Lord of the Rings. The Ring and the Cross addresses these two needs
through an articulate and authoritative analyses of Tolkien's Roman
Catholicism and the role it plays in understanding his writings.
The volume's contributors deftly explain the kinds of
interpretations put forward and evidence marshaled when arguing for
or against religious influence. The Ring and the Cross invites
readers to draw their own conclusions about a subject that has
fascinated Tolkien enthusiasts since the publication of his
masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.
