The media we consume - whether it’s books, film, or music - have a way of shaping who we are. Not only that, but we shape those media based on how we view the world. It’s an interesting interconnectedness that defines how cultures function.

Christians, of course, aren’t separated from their culture. Rather, they are ingrained in it and have a part in being shaped by it as well as shaping it. The Lord of the Rings is a part of that phenomenon we call culture. It has shaped its readers and viewers, and those people have gone on to shape other aspects of culture because of it.

As we continue our conversation from last week we ask, why are Christians so obsessed with The Lord of the Rings? What other media are Christians obsessed with for good or bad? All that and more on this edition of the podcast.
