It's time to come into the Common Room with The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we answer listener questions again in our 30th Questions After Nightfall! From the necessity of real-world physics to whose brooch did Bombadil find; from Fëanor's favorite games to Thingol's quite-appropriate guilt, our listeners always bring their A game… or would that be their Q game? Alan is confusticated and bebothered, and Sara reminds us all of how Tolkien could do all that he did. Also, never disrespect librarians. Learn more about your ad choices.

All quotes, unless otherwise marked, are Tolkien's words as printed in The Letters of J.R.R.Tolkien: Revised and Expanded Edition. All emphases mine. Machinery is Power is EvilWriting to his son Michael in the RAF:[here is] the tragedy and despair of all machinery laid bare. Unlike art which is content to create a new secondary world in the mind, it attempts to actualize desire, and so to create power in this World; and that cannot really be done with any real satisfaction. Labour-saving machinery only creates endless and worse labour. And in addition to this fundamental disability of a creature, is added the Fall, which makes our devices not only fail of their desire but turn to new and horrible evil. So we come inevitably from Daedalus and Icarus to the Giant Bomber. It is not an advance in wisdom!

The Rings of Power's elves are simple imbeciles, the Númenoreans now decide rulers based on what big animals do, an Tom Bombadil inverts one of Tolkien's most important lines.
Not sure how this Tom Bombadil came into existence--but he's definitely incredibly different from Tolkien's Bombadil.

In this episode, I'm joined by C.R. Wiley to discuss his book, In the House of Tom Bombadil. While we primarily focused on Bombadil as he appears in The Lord of the Rings, this connects to our current series on The Tales from the Perilous Realm, which includes the poetic "Adventures of Tom Bombadil." We'll get to these specific tales another time, but I found this to be a worthwhile, more general conversation about this fascinating character.Support my work and gain access to exclusive, early, and ad-free content at patreon.com/mythicmind.Keep up with me on twitter @andrewnsnyder

In this interview with Chris Wiley, we explore the strategy of contextualization. Church planters and Christians in the 20th and 21st centuries have been thinking about contextualization and attempting to use it as a means to reach people with the gospel. It is the normative approach to being “missional” in the American context. While the church has always been a people of mission, carrying God's gospel message to the ends of the earth, in the mid-20th century many Christian thinkers began to reconsider older approaches to Christian mission. Wiley casts doubt on the usefulness and fruitfulness of this endeavor particularly as it relates to a post-Christian culture of death. He ties contextualization to ideological movements in the 19th Century. Bio from crwiley.com: “C. R. Wiley's childhood was like something out of a story by Roald Dahl.It was full of vacancies. He was a ward of the state for a time. (Imagine living at the DMV and you have a sense of what that was like.) And he hated the 8th grade so much that he took it twice.Fortunately his imagination filled in what life left out. He drew a lot and actually got pretty good at it.Besides writing for magazines and publishing books he has been a pastor (still is!), a college professor, a commercial real estate investor, a landlord (still that, too!), and a building contractor.He has been happily married for over 30 years and he has three grown children. He resides in the state of Washington.He has written for Touchstone Magazine, Modern Reformation, Sacred Architecture, The Imaginative Conservative, Front Porch Republic, National Review Online, and First Things, among others. His most recent book is, In the House of Tom Bombadil (2021). He is also the author of, The Household and the War for the Cosmos published by Canon Press (2019). His short fiction has appeared in The Mythic Circle (published by the Mythopoeic Society) and elsewhere, and the first book in his young adult fantasy series, The Purloined Boy was published by Canonball Books (2017). He is a board member of the Academy of Philosophy and Letters, as well as New Saint Andrews College.”Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavishttps://crwiley.com/Theology Pugcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-theology-pugcast/id1452933071?ign-mpt=uo%3D4&mt=2“In the House of Tom Bombadil” - https://amzn.to/3S7o95JSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow! He may not have made it into the films, but he sure made it into our podcast. But what is he? Hobbit saviour Tom Bombadil takes centre stage for this week's episode of in-depth Lord of the Rings character guide Not Another F**king Elf. Every week, Paul Ridd and Catherine Bray look at a character's place in Tolkien's mythos, their place in pop culture, literature and adaptations. We look at Peter Jackson's adaptations, Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings (1978), the 1979 Mind's Eye radio adaptation, Return of the King (1980) from Rankin-Bass, the 1981 BBC Radio adaptation, and the 1990 Rob Inglis and 2020 Andy Serkis audiobooks.
I have my problems with Peter Jackson, but on this decision he made the right call. Not because Tom Bombadil is a bad character, but because in the medium PJ was working in, he no longer serves the same purpose.

Tom Bombadil is an enigma in Middle-earth; we do not know what he is and his origin is never revealed. Tolkien did state in one of his letters that Tom had been created long before he thought about writing the Lord of the Rings and he put him in because he wanted an adventure for the hobbits along the way to Rivendell. For all that, Tolkien did use Tom to make a statement about the nature of power and domination. Tom is supposed to represent an existence whose key desire is in understanding ONLY. He is not concerned in using this understanding for any purpose. As such power and domination are completely useless to him and have no meaning or effect upon him. "He is master in a peculiar way: he has no fear, and no desire of possession or domination at all. He merely knows and understands about such things as concern him in his natural little realm. [He represents] the spirit that desires knowledge of other things, their history and nature... and entirely unconcerned with 'doing' anything with the knowledge..." [The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien #153] “Could we not still send messages to him and obtain his help? asked Erestor. It seems that he has a power even over the Ring. No, I should not put it so, said Gandalf. Say rather that the Ring has no power over him. He is his own master. But he cannot alter the Ring itself, nor break its power over others..." [The Fellowship of the Ring] The Ring cannot effect Tom Bombadil because he is outside the whole issue of Power and Domination; Tolkien uses Tom as an allegory that even this intense struggle between "good and evil" is only part of the whole picture of existence.

Here's what the Jewish Encyclopedia says, “The majestic presence or manifestation of God which has descended to "dwell" among men. Like Memra(= "word"; "logos") and "Yeḳara" (i.e., "Kabod" = "glory"), the term was used by the Rabbis in place of "God" where the anthropomorphic expressions of the Bible were no longer regarded as proper (see Anthropomorphism).” Kavod or Kabod literally means glory or abundance but like Shekinah was used as a substitute for the name of God.

No matter how far you go in life, you'll never be able to get away from one person: you! Instead, moving through life and through the world is one of the ways we find ourselves, as many of the guests on Being All of Us's first season have done. And part of the journey is finding how we can belong in the world and leave it better than we found it. This week's guest is Almendra Staffa-Healey, who was born into movement and bravery. The child of an artist, she talks about growing up in Spain and in the United States. That in-between feeling led her to find belonging and understand loneliness and how she (and we) need to open our heart to connect with one another. She also shares the power of anger and the natural presence of sexual energy, and how important it is for us to embrace differences in ourselves and the world.

Happiness is something that just comes to us when it comes, right? Or maybe we find it and then try to keep it. Or perhaps it is a destination, an end to our journey? My guest this week is Thibaut Ottomer, a happiness coach. We talk about happiness, vulnerability and a lot more. He sees happiness as something we can seek out and work towards, and also something that requires working on even when we find it. And a lot of finding happiness is finding the power inside of us and tapping into what makes us who we are. I hope our conversation inspires you to tap into more of what makes you unique and empowers you to increase your own happiness. The journey to being all of us begins with you. Come join us!

One thing that has become blatantly clear in the 2020s is the way we are all connected to one another. Equally so is the importance of self care and self reflection; we need to understand and take care of ourselves so we can understand and take care of each other. Shiva Roofeh joins us this week on Being All Of Us to share her story. She talks about the many moves she made as a child and then an adult, and the challenges she faced in feeling at home and understanding her full identity. We discuss how who we are goes beyond the usual categories, the blessing and curse of greater self awareness, and how to better serve others, or to put it in Shiva's words, "how to be less of an a**hole." She is both spicy and sweet, and brings out the best in others. I think she'll bring out the best in you too! The journey to being all of us begins with you. Come join us!

Wherever you go, there you are. We've all heard it, we know the theory, and it's still something life invites us to learn time and again. Daniel Dos Santos is this week's guest on Being All of Us, and he talks about how his story of living in different countries - from his native Brazil to the United States to Portugal to Spain - and the people he met along the way, have helped him appreciate living with fewer things and more connections, immerse himself fully in life, find community wherever he goes and discover more about himself.

I've done three videos on the Old Forest, Tom Bombadil, and the Barrow Downs. But why bother talking about chapters that don't move the plot forward in any significant way? Well....

Some people have a hunger to get away from where they're from, to leave their world behind and see something new. And when they do that, they find out a ton about themselves and that world, as well as about the rest of the world. This week's guest on Being All Of Us is Ariadne M. Ferro. She talks about her quest to see a different world, and how that helped her understand the luck and privilege she was born with, the identities we can contain within ourselves, and how to bring more and more people together and inside the tent so we can belong together. The journey to being all of us begins with you. Come join us!

The more you practice, the better you get. Cultivate a relationship with someone who is radically different from you, knowing you might get it wrong. If you do, it's a lesson learned, so be kind to yourself.

The journey of life can bring us to many unexpected places and often has a surprising impact on the people around us, whether we know it or not. In this week's episode of Being All of Us, I speak with my friend John C. Dudley about his journey from Newport News to Lesotho, the impact he has had in different places and on different people throughout his life, and how it brought him closer to home. John is a fun person to talk to, and I think his reflections about the good or bad impacts we have on the people around us takes us to some deep and interesting places.

We often think of life as a journey and as one that we can trace a path for. That we can always find and know the way. Or maybe the journey is more about getting lost, about surrendering? This week's Being All of Us guest is my friend and brother from another mother, Antoine Passerat. He tells me about his journey in the physical sense, living in three countries and traveling in many more; in the professional sense, moving from a career in marketing to one in photography; and in a spiritual and emotional sense, as he has sought to connect with his own feelings and sense of self. He explains the difference between window photographers and mirror photographers, and we talk about seeing pieces of ourselves in everyone around us. I think you'll hear a piece of yourself in this conversation as well. We Talk About: 1:00 minute mark - Antoine's journey – from Lyon to New York to Barcelona, and from yogurt to photography 5:15 – Approaching photography and a new lens on the world 9:15 – Love of being lost and finding new paths 12:45 – Taking journeys without really going anywhere 19:15 – Drawing inspiration from the people around you 22:45 – Finding our connections with others and ourselves, and windows vs. mirrors 27:15 – Understanding what we can learn from water 36:45 – Finding and expressing an inner faith or feeling 43:45 – Creating a space for trust and surrender Challenge of the Week: Go swimming outside of your comfort zone and inside yourself, either literally - in open water such as a sea, river, lake, creek, ocean - or symbolically, in a bathtub or even a meditation practice.
