Many of you may know that the area of creativity I locate myself in is fiction writing—more specifically epic fantasy. And since I’m a pastor and student of the Bible, I’m always looking to find ways in which fantasy writing and faith can come together. Therefore, I was thrilled when I discovered that renowned Biblical scholar Joel Green is an avid Lord of the Rings fan.

I invited him onto the program to see if his appreciation of Tolkien had any connection to his faith. I was greatly pleased with his response.

So listen in as Dr. Green shares with us how the Lord of the Rings has shaped the way he reads the Scripture and how fantasy writers can serve their church communities through their talents.
