There and Back Again: JRR Tolkien and the Origins of the Hobbit


Mark Atherton - 2012
    Tolkien’s own fiction. For decades, hobbits and the other fantastical creatures of Middle-earth have captured the imaginations of a fiercely loyal tribe of readers, all enhanced by the immense success of Peter Jackson’s films: first The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now his newest movie, The Hobbit. But for all Tolkien’s global fame and the familiarity of modern culture with Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam, the sources of the great mythmaker’s own myth-making have been neglected.  Mark Atherton here explores the chief influences on Tolkien’s work: his boyhood in the West Midlands; the landscapes and seascapes which shaped his mythologies; his experiences in World War I; his interest in Scandinavian myth; his friendships, especially with the other Oxford-based Inklings; and the relevance of his themes, especially ecological ones, to the present day.

Qualified: Integrity, Character, and Ethics in Spiritual Leadership


Tony Cooke - 2012
    If one can be disqualified from effective ministry, it states to reason that there is also a process of becoming qualified. What is involved in becoming (and staying) a ..".vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work" (2 Timothy 2:21)? The great challenge of spiritual leadership is not simply in knowing the right words to say or knowing the right things to do; it is in being the right person. When Moses chose those who would assist, there were qualifications. When the early church chose its workers, there were qualifications. When Paul spoke of bishops, elders, and deacons, there were qualifications. In an ago of skepticism and mistrust, the world and the church is looking for credible, honest, and godly leaders who are full of integrity and honor. Trust is the currency of ministry, and for us to do our job - both in the church and in the world - we must be qualified!
