Following Gandalf: Epic Battles and Moral Victory in the Lord of the Rings by Matthew DickersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dickerson explores the moral choices made by characters in The Lord of the Rings, and provides a far more nuanced and persuasive analysis of Christian elements in Tolkien's work than one usually finds. On the whole an excellent critical work, though at times I found myself disagreeing with him on matters of details.
Minus one star, however, for no index and repeatedly calling The Lord of the Rings a trilogy.
