Saved in Hope: The Christian Vision of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis
Everyone knows the taste of hope, but what it is, whence it comes, how it acts, why it flourishes or vanishes, often mystify believers and skeptics alike. In the hope of elucidating some of hope’s elusive qualities and operations, Philip Zaleski examines its role in the lives and works of the major Inklings, especially J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, with reference to the writings of Popes Saint John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis.
