In the era of the Second World War, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis saw with clear eyes the evil unleashed around them. With this vision before them, they used their gifts to describe a path back to goodness, beauty, and faith. How did they do it, and how do their stories speak to today’s world?
Joseph Loconte has captured the story that led to works like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. Join friends in our Trinity Forum community for a reception and discussion with Joseph.
The Trinity Forum invites you to join us in DC on December 9 at 5:30 PM for a reception and discussion to celebrate Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Joseph Loconte’s latest book, The War for Middle-Earth: J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Confront the Gathering Storm, 1933-1945.
