Wade Center - A podcast by Wade Center at Wheaton College (IL)

President of Wheaton College, Dr. Philip Ryken sits down with Crystal and David this week to discuss his 2017 book "The Messiah Comes to Middle-earth." Dr. Ryken addresses the inspiration for his book, based on his 2015-2016 Hansen lectures. He also discusses the difference between allegory and "applicability" in Tolkien, as the creator of "The Lord of the Rings" was famously averse to one-on-one correspondences in storytelling.
