Just reading the end of Perelandra shows that Lewis is aiming beyond
All of these lectures are fantastic listening. They have provided education and entertainment while I am working. Please keep up the great work.
great lecture - teaching a secular class for public school but the dichotomy you created is excellent and very useful. Will definitely use it.
The reader must be "Prepared" to read any book,
These lectures have inspired me to re-read 'The Hobbit.' I didn't care for it too much the first time I read it. But I'm quite enjoying it now. I have no idea why!
As an atheist, i'm very impressed by that presentation.
One cannot use The Bible as a comparison to reading other texts
You mention that Tom Bombadill was not affected by the ring, however he was affected. Yes he did not turn invisible nor did he have any desire to keep the ring. Frodo though when he gets the ring back from Tom decides to quietly slip it on and then Tom cannot see him but knows that he is there. That is in itself being affected by the ring.
