About this episode

This episode features Dr. Sean McDonough discussing the connections between the Book of Revelation and Tolkien's works.

In this episode we are joined by one of my all-time favorite professors Dr. Sean McDonough! Sean has taught a class called "Tolkien's Apocalyptic Imagination" at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for over 20 years now and his recent book "Truth's Consuming Ecstasy" explores Revelation in light of Tolkien and 5 other literary and philosophical voices.
