"The Messiah Comes to Middle-earth" w/ President Philip Ryken

President of Wheaton College, Dr. Philip Ryken sits down with Crystal and David this week to discuss his 2017 book "The Messiah Comes to Middle-earth." Dr. Ryken addresses the inspiration for his book, based on his 2015-2016 Hansen lectures. He also discusses the difference between allegory and "applicability" in Tolkien, as the creator of "The Lord of the Rings" was famously averse to one-on-one correspondences in storytelling.
