Quote:
Tolkien believed, as I do as well, that God created man in His image. So, since God is the Creator, man also wants to create things. Therefore, Tolkien called his books a "sub-creation", because they had similarities to God's Creation, but his books weren't exactly like the stories from the Bible. Instead, Tolkien used the gift of creation and writing that God had given him to make up a whole story and world(Middle Earth) of his own.
I am of the same mind as the poster of this quote and the poster's opinion, being a devout Christian myself! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
