In late 2012 I initially released a short series of podcasts based on a book by Dr. Devin Brown entitled The Christian World of The Hobbit. At the time the none of three movies on The Hobbit had been released. Fast forward to now and (at the time of this posting) we are less than a month away from the final extended version of the last movie.
Because of this fact I felt it would be good to highlight these shows, along with the single interview I did with Dr. Brown before the five-part mini-series. In these programs he answers questions from myself (William O’Flaherty) and Sorina Higgins about his book that does a good job at of highlighting Christian elements in The Hobbit without seeing something Christian “under every stone.” Each program is 15-20 minutes long and cover each of the chapters in his book.
#1. “An ‘Essentially’ Christian Story”
#2. “Providence in The Hobbit”
#3. “Purpose in The Hobbit”
#4. “The Moral Landscape in The Hobbit”
#5. “Response and Legacy”
SINGLE INTERVIEW on The Christian World of The Hobbit
If you desire a quick overview of what the book is like, then try this SINGLE INTERVIEW first done with Dr. Brown.
