169 - The Ainulindalë and the Theology of Tolkien's Legendarium
Published: June 1, 2026
Duration: 19:12
We begin our Lord of the Rings study with the beginning of Tolkien's world: the Ainulindalë, which tells of the making of Arda and the primordial fall of the devilish Melkor.
After a presentation of the story, I briefly discuss the theology of Tolkien's world and its relationship with Tolkien's own Christianity.
