  • IKON | C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Green Great Dragon

    IKON | C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Green Great Dragon

    Diana Pavlac Glyer extrapolates lessons from C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s lasting, influential literary circle, The Inklings, for any writer seeking to grow their work through the powerful opportunities that can only be generated within creative community.

    Diana teaches English at Azusa Pacific University and is the author three books about C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Inklings (the most recent is called Bandersnatch). She is also the founder of Creative Artist’s Prayer Fellowship, a rag-tag group of local writers, painters, musicians, and scholars who gather twice a month for mutual encouragement and prayer.

    This is the fourth of a seven-part evening.

  • RESOURCE | The Significance of J.R.R. Tolkien

    Timothy Keller mines the career and creative process of J.R.R. Tolkien for how he came to have such an enduring cultural impact. And, perhaps, how we can do the same.

    Timothy was born and raised in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. His first pastorate was in Hopewell, Virginia. In 1989 he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. Today, Redeemer has nearly six thousand regular Sunday attendees and has helped to start more than three hundred new churches around the world. He is the author of The Songs of Jesus, PrayerEncounters with Jesus, Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering, and Every Good Endeavor, among others, including the perennial bestsellers The Reason for God and The Prodigal God.
