[QUOTE="dms1972, post: 75264653, member: 325736"] I honestly don't quite see Tolkien as incorporating motifs of his Roman Catholic faith In LOTR, I see him as building upon Norse motifs. Which are "of a more personal sort: deceit, violence, and fallibility, which are all tied together in drama and tradegy." Nevertheless he thinks his Creation Myth in the Silmarilien will be acceptable to people who believe in the Holy Trinity. His Middle Earth stories incorporate element of both Mythology and Saga, but the crucible in which it was worked out was Tolkien's christian imagination and intellect. :) [/QUOTE]
