Apologetics and Your Children (5) – God, Man and the World

This entry is part 5 of 10 in the series Apologetics and Your Children

“A triad is a kind of three-in-one.  Each member of the triad is connected to the other two.  This triad deals with relationships, but I told my friend that his “God, self and others” triad was pretty close to my own theological triad: God, Man, and the World.  These three things are also inseparably linked.  You cannot think about the world without thinking about yourself and vice versa.  And even atheists cannot comprehend these two without facing the question of God; even if they always try to push Him away.”

Tolkien and Lewis on Virtue: ‘On the Shoulders of Hobbits’

On the Shoulders of Hobbits is more than just an entertaining read.  He is concerned about illustrating the virtues (Justice, Self-control, Wisdom, Courage, Faith, Hope, Love), by means of, primarily, The Lord of the Rings [LOTR] and, secondarily, The Chronicles of Narnia, and what he has to say should be heeded.
