John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford. His research on Beowulf is still considered a standard in the field. Tolkien, however, unlike most Oxford dons, stepped out of his role as professor to create popular literature. Tolkien's best-known writings were The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in which he created a fully realized world known as Middle-earth, vaguely identifiable as Northern Europe in a pre-history that never was. To bring his world to life, he produced detailed geography and cartography as well as a legendary background. He peopled the world with diverse types of inhabitants and created spoken and written languages for them. By doing this, he essentially created modern fantasy literature and a standard for subsequent writers to chase and miss. A British poll at the end of the twentieth century named The Lord of the Rings the most important English-language work of that century. During his lifetime, Tolkien did not appreciate people focusing on him rather than on his writings. He felt that his writings were more worthy of attention. With apologies to the late gentleman, he is now due some notice.
With a new introduction by the authorPeter Jackson's film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy - and the accompanying Rings-related paraphernalia and publicity - has played a unique role in the disemmination of Tolkien's imaginative creation to the masses. Yet, for most readers and viewers, the underlying meaning of Middle-earth has remained obscure. Bradley Birzer has remedied that with this fresh study. In J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle-earth, Birzer reveals the surprisingly specific religious symbolism that permeates Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He also explores the social and political views that motivated the Oxford don, ultimately situating Tolkien within the Christian humanist tradition represented by Thomas More and T.S. Eliot, Dante and C.S. Lewis. Birzer argues that through the genre of myth Tolkien created a world that is essentially truer than the one we think we see around us everyday, a world that transcends the colorless disenchantment of our postmodern age.

The legacy of James R. (J.R.) Bradley has slipped into a forgotten realm along with that of many others trained at Mars Hill College under the instruction of T.B. Larimore. While Bradley was not the most recognized "Larimore boy," C. Wayne Kilpatrick argues that he may have been among the most productive in his labors for the kingdom of God. He helped establish at least twenty-one congregations and as of 2019 seventeen of those churches were still meeting.J.R. Bradley: A Forgotten Larimore Boy explores Bradley's life and work primarily in North Alabama and South Central Tennessee. His poverty is revealed in all its harsh reality. His struggles with difficult illnesses demonstrate the typical life of a poor pioneer preacher and help the reader understand how challenging situations can be handled today. Bradley's memory should have lived on in the congregations he helped establish. Unfortunately, very few, if any, current members of these churches know who he was. God, however, knows his name--"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them" (Rev. 14:13). Bradley's works have quietly followed him for a hundred years in the churches where he sacrificed so much. With meticulous research, this book traces Bradley's ministry, including how he helped frame discussions regarding early controversies from Sunday Schools in churches to shape notes in song books. Bradley held many debates and moderated several others. He helped raise money to build church buildings, even when he had no money of his own. He believed strongly in the word of God and was willing to endure toils and trials as a poor minister while not growing weary in his labors. Bradley loved people and so did his wife, Mary E. Liles Bradley. She was the one who encouraged him and cheered him when bad times came. Her faith was just as strong as that of her husband. Her loyalty to the cause she shared with him demonstrates all that a pioneer preacher's wife could be. This book will appeal to anyone who desires to peer into a window of life itself and to understand the tenacity of an enduring faith.
