December 2012 brought us an updated edition of The Power of the Ring, a guide to vision of virtue, heroism, beauty, honor, and majesty in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The cover by Ted Nasmith is stunning!The spiritual forces and beliefs behind Tolkien's compelling novels are elegantly revealed in this second edition of The Power of the Ring.Stratford Caldecott uncovers the deeper meanings behind the The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, drawing not only on the classic published works but also on Tolkien's writings unpublished during his lifetime.In this outstanding reflection on the influences behind Tolkien's immense vision, Caldecott casts a wide net to include intellectual and spiritual minds ranging from Tolkien's close friend, C.S. Lewis to Flannery O'Connor, from Carl Jung and Rudolf Steiner to Owen Barfield and Joseph Chilton Pearce, from G.K. Chesterton to Father Dwight Longenecker.Acclaimed as the "one of the greatest spiritual writers of our time", Tolkien, a devout Catholic, produced a masterpiece (further popularized by the magnificent films of Peter Jackson) that has enhanced and forever altered the genre of fantasy literature.The films have enchanted a new generation of fans with the Christian-inspired vision of a world full of beauty.
