J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' is a timeless classic of fantasy. Tolkien was a member of the Inklings, though, and so purposefully devoted a lot of time to infusing literary, philosophical, and theological themes into The Hobbit. This lecture examines the background to The Hobbit and Tolkien's ideas in his writing the Lord of the Rings. • For the best books on Tolkien and his background check these out: • Tom Shippey's biography: http://amzn.to/2dChoJu • Classic biography: http://amzn.to/2dCh5hY • The Road to Middle Earth: http://amzn.to/2dCikOb • For the best books on C.S.
