Mythmakers

Professor Holly Ordway returns to Mythmakers on today’s episode to discuss her new book on Tolkien's Faith. Having been first an agnostic, then an atheist, and now a Catholic, Professor Ordway uses her insider/outsider perspective to elucidate this fascinating topic. Join in as Professor Ordway discusses with Julia Golding the many flavours of Catholicism and the particular, and unusual, one that Tolkien followed as part of the English Oratory movement. Take a listen to what this offers to everyone, Catholics and non-Catholics, and how it relates to his writing within Middle-earth.
