On this episode of The Pod Millennial, Libby Emmons digs into the great Lord of the Rings controversy that broke the internet. After Jack Posobiec's viral take sparked a massive online debate, Libby sits down with Jack to explore big questions: Can a text by a Catholic author like J.R.R. Tolkien be overtly pagan while also being underpinned with elements of Christian faith? Should an author's stated intentions always be considered above any other analysis of his works? What role can pre-Christian myth play in the work of Christian artists?
The conversation expands into why public expressions of faith matter more than ever in a culture increasingly hostile to Christianity, the power of symbols, the beauty of classical architecture and sacred spaces, the connections between Passover and the Last Supper, and what it means to live out your faith publicly during Holy Week.
