Recently a silly and certainly unserious article was published on the website Medium which sought to make the point that The Lord of the Rings was not a "Christian" story. What did the author mean by "a Christian story"? Dunno, but he didn't let that vague term stop him! To his credit, it's a fair conversation to have. Unfortunately, he used it as a vehicle to not only display his utter ignorance of the subject and his intellectual laziness, but also as an opportunity to slander, mock, and insult Christians because reasons.
I responded.
In what is my first solo episode of The Keyhole (huzzah!), I break down his argument, such as it is and as it pertains to the question of The Lord of the Rings Christian roots. The truth is... complicated, but as I make clear, without the profound importance of Tolkien's Catholicism to his own life, The Lord of the Rings would not exist. Make of that what you will, dear reader. 
If you like this episode, leave a like, share a review, and subscribe to the show. It helps me reach a wider audience, and I really do want this to be the year that Through the Keyhole challenges The Joe Rogan Experience... Maybe that's too far. But this is something special, and your support helps the show grow.
