This review is from: Shadows of Heaven: Religion and Fantasy in the Writing of C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and J. R. R. Tolkien (Religion and Other Disciplines) (Hardcover)

For fans of Tolkien, CS Lewis and Charles Williams, this is a must read. Urang does tremendous work as he relates these excellent writers to theology and religious teaching.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for all Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, & Big People, December 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadows of Heaven: Religion and Fantasy in the Writing of C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and J. R. R. Tolkien (Religion and Other Disciplines) (Hardcover)

Urang's book was published in 1971, during an earlier focus upon Tolkien, as well as his colleagues Lewis and Williams. This was originally written as Urang's dissertation on theology and fantasy writing. Urang's writing is precise, engaging, and fascinating. It is an excellent book to read for Tolkien fans and others. I'm amazed that it hasn't been brought back into print, yet. I highly recommend it!
