Recovering Consolation

Arts & Literature

“Recovering Consolation is not only an outstanding exegesis of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, it opens a series of portals to profound understanding of human nature, the war between good and evil, and the mysteries of divine providence. As layer upon layer of meaning is revealed, Greg Maillet’s readers will find themselves deeply moved and thrilled with unexpected illuminations. This is far more than a superb intellectual exercise; it is a beautiful integration of scholarship with holy wisdom.”
