Book Description
Organized religion is notably absent from J.R.R. Tolkien's Secondary Universe, despite the author's own deep Catholic faith. Essays in Light Beyond All Shadow explore this anomaly across the full sweep of Tolkien's legendarium, plus Peter Jackson's film trilogy. Contributors examine the sources and style of Tolkien's Catholic imagination, from Biblical typology to personal relationships. Although his imagery has both Christian and pagan resonances, Tolkien's "comedy of grace" is neither occult nor Manichaean. Creation reveals the Creator, Light stands for sub-creative power diffusing from the Deity. Water, music, poetry, and the life-giving Feminine are signposts of transcendence. As in its earlier companion volume, The Ring and the Cross, Light Beyond All Shadow illuminates Tolkien beautifully. -- Back cover.
