Hi Guys! Ricky Pope here and this week on the Christian Nerds Unite Podcast, I am joined by author Jeb Smith and we talk about his book Middle-earth Lore : Tolkien's Legends Revealed. We discuss his introduction to J.R.R. Tolkien through the movies rather than the books, his initial disinterest in fantasy, and how his perception changed after watching "The Lord of the Rings." He shares his deep dive into Tolkien's writings and biographies, exploring Tolkien's integration of his Christian beliefs, environmental themes, and medieval political views into his works. Plus scripture and nerdy news.
