Tolkien & Faith: Essays on Christian Truth in Middle-Earth
J.R.R. Tolkien has captivated the imagination of countless souls with his fantastical realm of Middle-Earth. While his world never mentions God, Tolkien’s Catholic faith is woven throughout his fictional mythology. Voyage Comics presents a selection of previously published articles – including a few that have not been published – on a range of Tolkien topics that investigate the underlying Christian themes that can be found in Middle-Earth.
The Christbearer: Exploring the Connection Between the Mandalorian and Christian Saints
Jon Favreau captivated the world with the debut of his Mandalorian series, and while he likely never intended it to be overtly religious, or to infuse it with Christian symbolism, the extremely popular television series has many remarkable parallels with two specific Christian saints. Many have recognized in Din Djarin, the series’ titular character, similarities to St. Christopher, while others have found echoes of Jesus’ foster-father, St. Joseph.
In this short book, Voyage Comics presents a selection of articles that explore the inspiring Christian themes that can be found in The Mandalorian, as well as a collection of Christian stories and legends that visualize this connection more concretely.
