Sorry I have not posted the next lecture before now. The next lecture was a biography of Professor Tolkien. Since I am sure most of the people here know most of his life I will just mention those things that I thought were important.
Tolkien transferred his affections for his mother to his faith because he thought she died for her faith.
He had an interest and for a time supported the language Esperanto which was an effort at a universal language.
He specialized in signaling during the war because of his interest in languages.
He felt a certain obligation to his dead friends from the TCBS to write the aspired literary legacy.
