383: Tolkien - The 'protestant' search backwards for 'simplicity' and directness ... is mistaken

Показать описание
And so it begins.
In this episode, we read the letters of J.R.R. Tolkien for Lent. We discuss sin and mercy, Eden and scientific materialism, ecumenism and cults, and much more!
SHOW NOTES:
"The phrase “kill your darlings” originated with British writer Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in his 1916 book On the Art of Writing."
Luther: The human soul is in the middle of temporal things, like the center in a circumference. If, then, it does not remain by itself inwardly, it is quiet and asleep. But it is openly busy on the circumference, it is endlessly divided, as Augustine beautifully discusses it. But if it remains within, all things move in on it and converge on it, just as, if the center remains, the circumference depends totally on it. But if you move the center, you have moved the whole circumference and you have changed the circle. Thus all these words show how precious the faithful souls are in the presence of God. (AE10:335-336)
