Why didn’t the eagles fly Frodo to Mordor? Were Sam and Frodo gay? Was The Lord of the Rings intended to be a Christian work of literature? Dr. Austin Freeman is at The Babylon Bee to tell us what the theology of J.R.R. Tolkien was and also whether Amazon’s The Rings of Power should be cast into the fires of Mt. Doom.

Dr. Austin Freeman is a lecturer at Houston Christian University and a classical school teacher who holds a PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

He has written a new book about the theology of J.R.R. Tolkien called Tolkien Dogmatics: https://www.amazon.com/Tolkien-Dogmatics-Theology-Mythology-Middle-earth/dp/1683596676
