Tolkien Ideas of ‘Faith’ Through the Fantastic

“Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Great Fantasy writings demand our ‘belief’ in the world of Fantasy, hence, they demand a *suspension of disbelief of the Fantasy Writing*. The effect by which this subcreator-writer conveys can ONLY happen by this *kind* of faith. Likened to this, “Faith” in the Biblical God and the inerrancy of the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures demands that we halt disbelief, and in this *suspension of disbelief of the Bible* we *see* the Kingdom by which IT stands. We can clearly see the beautiful Horror that Jesus Truly is God. Hence, this is what arrests the mind, body, soul…..the horror that ‘all must be lost save that of THIS KINGDOM and ALL who would inhabit this most glorious Kingdom shall be saved”. There is HOPE for ALL!!! “
