—Peter Kreeft From his book "The Philosophy of Tolkien"

‎"There is no room for failure in the philosophy of Sauron. There is room for failure in the philosophy of Tolkien, for the philosophy of Tolkien is simply Christianity. And according to Christianity, the most revealing thing that ever happened in history happened at another Crack of Doom, when Christ 'failed', lost, died. That was how the meek little Lamb defeated the great dragon beast (see Rev 17, especially verse 14): by His blood. Frodo did what Christ did, and it 'worked' because Christ did it, because it was real, not fantasy, and it was real because the real world is a 'Christian' world. Only in a Christian world can this 'failure' have such power."
