The Return of the King, Part 1

The Bookening talks Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Show Notes

Is book 5 of Lord of the Rings actually the worst of the lot (on a gradation of greatness, obviously)? Our heroes argue about that, and revise some of their previous opinions on Eowyn, and talk about what makes a great inspiring speech when you're leading men into battle, and why Aragorn's speech in the movie version was stupid. AND MORE.

What is The Bookening?

3 guys—a pastor, a scholar, and their gleeful provocateur—discuss the great books. We take God and literature seriously—but the second one not overly so.
