In his beloved story The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien takes readers
into a world unlike any other, yet so much seems familiar. As Bilbo
journeys there and back again, glimpses of the spiritual are seen.

The Christian World of The Hobbit
does what no book has done: it brings Tolkien fans new delight by
introducing a side of Tolkien that is rarely explored but vitally
important to his writings—especially The Hobbit. Written by
internationally regarded Tolkien-scholar Devin Brown, this approachable,
witty, and highly entertaining book offers up fresh perspectives to
fans of The Hobbit, both the book and the film adaptation.
