Timothy J. Keller Quotes

When J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Was Published In The 1950s, A Woman Named Rhona Beare Wrote Tolkien And Asked Him About The Chapter In Which The Ring Of Power Is Destroyed In The Fires Of Mount Doom. When The Ring Is Melted, The Dark Lord's Entire Power Collapses And Melts Away With It. She Found It Inexplicable That This Unassailable, Overwhelming Power Would Be Wiped Out By The Erasure Of Such A Little Object. Tolkien Replied That At The Heart Of The Plot Was The Dark Lord's Effort To Magnify And Maximize His Power By Placing So Much Of It In The Ring. He Wrote: "The Ring Of Sauron Is Only One Of The Various Mythical Treatments Of The Placing Of One's Life, Or Power, In Some External Object, Which Is Thus Exposed To Capture Or Destruction With Disastrous Results To Oneself.
