{"product_id":"9783905703047","title":"Four Christian Fantasists. A Study Of The Fantastic Writings Of George Macdonald, Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis \u0026 J.R.R. Tolkien","description":"J.R.R.Tolkien's \"The Lord of the Rings\", it has long been recognized, was shaped and undergirded by his Christian beliefs. But he was not the only writer of fantasy to have a close relationship between his faith and his fiction. This book is a study of such relationships in four writers: Tolkien himself, his friends C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams, and, from an earlier generation, George MacDonald. It seeks to look at their use of other worlds and other beings; at their attitudes towards 'escapism'; at the presence of symbolism and myth in their writings; at the themes and ideas they had in common; and at the extent to which their fiction has a value for Christian apologetics.","brand":"Walking Tree Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47066059669744,"sku":"9783905703047","price":19.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783905703047_p0.jpg?v=1763703591","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783905703047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
