Events and persons of the Old Testament point towards New Testament antitypes/fulfillments, e.g. St. Peter explains the Ark and the Flood (historical things) as pointing towards Baptism and salvation in the Church.<br /><br />Thus Earendil, Gandalf, Aragorn, and Frodo and their adventures work as types of what was to come, namely the most full and complete expression of God's purposes.Wurmbrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345523517796356674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-54925237267995978532012-03-05T22:52:26.948-08:002012-03-05T22:52:26.948-08:00John

Especially enjoyed her new article on Tolkien and the Kalevala as it really builds upon the excellent work she did in Tolkien <br />Studies 7 on Tolkien's early Kullervo story and talks in 1914-1915 on the Kalevala at Oxford. Well timed to as I am doing some heavy research in this area on my Phd project around Tolkien and the Book of Lost Tales. Can re-read these essays again and again they are pure treasures!!<br /><br />Thanks AndyDr. Andrew Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16695949868240167504noreply@blogger.com
