Fr. Stephen De Young joins Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick to talk about monsters, myth and mythology in the Tolkien legendarium, especially as they relate to Biblical narrative and the historical background of the Ancient Near East. Watch out for giants, wraiths, Atlantis, flood, fire, the sword and the answer to the burning question: Shouldn’t Aragorn be taller?
