Tolkien & Lewis & Wesley, Oh my!

Nick Polk of Tolkien Pop joins Joshua Noel to discuss his involvement with Mallorn (the Tolkien Society's journal) and the Wesleyan Theological Society. They talk all about J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and the Wesley brothers' impacts on their lives and theology!

What are the Wesleyan theological perspectives? Is Wesleyan the same as Christianity? Who planted the mallorn tree? Why is Tolkien so important? Did Tolkien approve of Lord of the Rings? What is Tolkien most famous for? What is CS Lewis most famous for? What was the faith of CS Lewis? What was the relationship between Lewis and Tolkien? What was Lewis and Tolkien's religion? What was John Wesley most known for? What was John Wesley theology?
