...tone of the book is very serious and majority of the book has emphasis by Lewis on the roles of Christianity and what their view would be on a particular subject. Subjects in the book ranged from the law of human nature to Christian beliefs to Christian behavior and to the new men. Lewis uses many forms of exaggeration to represent his wanting or desire for the reader to clearly understand. Lewis made strong points on particular things like charity, the great sin and faith. Lewis’ first book is prominently about the “Law of Human Nature.” The law of human nature is the sense/value of right and wrong that we all seem to share. It is basically some universal standard of behavior that we all appeal to. A sense of the law of human nature is when people dispute or argue over what seems to be “fair” or “unfair.” C.S Lewis emphasizes multiple times throughout the chapter how when people quarrel or argue they demonstrate this law or theory. Lewis also brings up the point that people defend their own wrong actions with excuses, but denying that some rules exist, while in reality this is all part of the concept of the “law of human nature.” Next, Lewis begins to explain moral relativism and how the differences between cultural moral norms are very small and how we as a group or nation see that NONE of us can live up to the moral standards that we find internally encoded. In conclusion to the first chapter, Lewis ends with this statement: “We know what we ought to do but we...

...Tolkien’s Christian Connections By Candace Browning I. Introduction II. Truth thru Myth III. Providence IV. Hope and Faith V. Pity and Mercy VI. Similarities to the Bible A. Various B. Creation and the Fall C. Christ D. The Virgin Mary VII. Conclusion I. Introduction For thousands of years, humanity has turned to the Bible to answer questions of how and why we are here. At the dawn of a new millenium, popular culture has shifted away from ancient stories like those in the Bible. Thankfully, more recent tales influenced by the Gospels have emerged to fulfill this craven desire. J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is one such book. It offers a mythological explanation of the apparent chaos, pain, disappointment, horror and violence of the world in terms of the struggle between good and evil. Taking this into consideration, a closer look at the The Lord of the Rings reveals grim and glorious lessons that can be learned. The works of Tolkien have been almost universally embraced by literate Christians who have long recognized the richness and beauty of Tolkien’s Middle-earth as well as the profound influence of his Christian faith upon the shape of his imaginary world. On the other hand, it may be read and enjoyed without reference to any theology whatsoever. It succeeds mainly as an exciting tale, but a full appreciation of Tolkien’s accomplishment requires some sense of what lies behind the book. It...
