Matt recently gave a talk at entitled, “Beauty and Natural Theology in The Lord of the Rings.” Matt argued that the Lord of the Rings, in addition to being a wonderful story, also serves as a narrative argument for the reality of beauty. Tolkien was a classical thinker who believed that Beauty is not merely subjective, defined by “the eye of the beholder,” but it, like goodness and truth, is an absolute or transcendent reality that finds its source and measure in God. You can listen to the talk here or you can listen below. You can listen to all of the Tolkien conference talks here.

Today there will be a Q and A for adult Christian education. I’ll address two questions that I’ve received and also open the floor for any questions you might have. If you post your questions in the Facebook comment section, I should have someone pass who can pass them on to me. The two questions are:
1. If someone is terminally ill and in great pain, why isn’t it okay to euthanize the person peacefully and without pain? Also, when Jesus gave up his spirit didn’t he engage in a form of euthanasia?
2. You’ve said several times now that we should not use pronouns for people that are inconsistent with their biological sex. I agree with you that there are only two genders but I struggle with not calling people what they want to be called. Isn’t that their right?
This series is on the 39 Articles, the Anglican confession of faith. The Articles are not narrowly focused on Anglican issues, but communicate the Christian faith in basic and broad terms. If you are looking for a “Christianity 101” class, this is it. You can read all of the Articles of Religion here.
