A view point on LOTR
Ok,
I dont think this is Spaming or anything. A Australian pen-pal of mine wrote some thing about the lord of the rings, he asked me if i could put it up on the entmoot. I said yes. he will not be getting anything out of this except some people looking at his thoughts on the subject. he and i have been pen-pals for, hummmmmmm... gosh i guess it has been a year! he is a really nice man. and funny too! (I am trying to get him to sighn up with entmoot so that is how he knows about it) Well I hope I dont get banned for this but I'm willing to try it for this guy, hear goes! www.cts.org.au/2001/universitas10/tolkienandthomism.htm |

That's not spamming. We people do it ALL the time. Spamming is where you repeat a post to make your own point and dont let anyoe else in there and that is against the rules form what I heard so I dont think you have to worry about it. Look in the rules to find out more.

Very interesting essay, though it would seem to take for granted that it's readers are Christians, even of a certain kind.

it is an interesting read, though i must say that it has left me a feeling of insatisfaction: too many points are deal with and very few of them are enough developed. they seem to be only intuitions.
anyway i agree with what i think it is its capital point: that the christian concept of grace is always present in the book. i'd add that this is specially clear in the final chosen by Tolkien for the story: Frodo need an external aid without which he never could have finished his task.
