Reviews

Alison Milbank most ably demonstrates in her fascinating and illuminating book [that both Chesterton and Tolkein are theologians] ... Her purpose in making a comparitive study of the two writers, one so celebrated, one so sadly neglected ... is an immensely rewarding exercise, conducted with deftness and deep learning, and productive of more insights than a brief review can acknowledge... The achievement of this brilliant book is to show the truth of the Cherstertonian paradox that is its subtitle. - John Pridmore, Theology, Vol. CXII No. 867, May/June 2009--Sanford Lakoff Theology

The fictional worlds of Chesterton and Tolkien are not only theological but also deeply Augustinian: they show us universes in which creatures exchange gifts with one another and with God. So argues Alison Milbank, with verve and brilliance, in this finely conceived and beautifully written book. <br>Kevin Hart, The University of Virginia
