Tolkien, Lewis & Theology

[greyhavener]

I agree. In fact I think much of the Old Testament can be taken in much the same way. An account of an event, a true myth (in the sense Tolkien or Lewis meant it), a prophesy or foreshadowing, a revelation, a truth that can all be found in one story. Perhaps myth is simply a creative manifestation of some ancient truth that our hearts remember "through a glass darkly".
