Announcing Volume 38

Also in this volume, Graham Shea and Doug Jackson turn the lights of their scholarship onto the work of J.R.R. Tolkien in two separate articles, giving new texture to old legends about the author and demonstrating how Tolkien, in creating worlds beyond our lived experiences, illuminated some of the deepest truths of human existence. David Rozema dives into C.S. Lewis’s unfinished, but still disputed and disparaged novel The Dark Tower, shining a light into the recesses of one of Lewis’s darkest writings to find the significant value that lies there. And Landon Loftin scours the work of Owen Barfield to reveal how Barfield’s philosophies of nature and humanity oriented him toward meaning-making in a context that despaired of hope and purpose.
