Quotes by Bradley J. Birzer  (?)

“The incarnate angel of Tolkien’s mythology, Gandalf the Grey, said it well in a conversation with Frodo. “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” laments the young Hobbit. “So do I,” Gandalf replies, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Bradley J. Birzer, J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle Earth

“Deeply rooted in the universalist Western tradition of the Stoics and the the early medieval Christians, Tolkien created a myth to explore the nature of the human person against the avaricious dreams of the capitalists and the diabolical schemes of the national and international socialists, all of whom would replace God with man.”
Bradley J. Birzer, The Ring and the Cross: Christianity and the Lord of the Rings

“The most endangered species The honest man Will still survive annihilation Forming a world State of integrity Sensitive, open and strong”
Bradley J. Birzer, Neil Peart: Cultural Repercussions
