Bishop Robert Barron

6 Christ the Teacher Upcoming Spring Seminar for Students Catholic Themes in JRR Tolkien This seminar explores the religious aspects behind The Lord of the Rings, and other works by J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien's world view is greatly influenced by his belief in God and he conveys that belief through his characters, story setting, and powerful symbols. His works have greatly influenced me personally, and the aim of this course is to share with you what I love about Middle-Earth, and why it is considered one of the greatest fantasy stories of all time. The seminar is open to all students at Northwestern, and will meet Thursdays - April 19, 26, May 3, 10 - from 6:30-7:50 pm.
