Overview

The concepts of sub-creation and free will are very closely associated. The theme of free will, and especially its relationship to divine providence, has received a good deal of attention in this book. Structured around Tolkien's Middle-earth creation myth, they give a view on notions as sub-creation, free will, evil, and eucatastrophe. Not only merely using Aquinas philosophy to mirror the act of creation, but also uses its specific application in sub-creation, creaturely free will is likewise wholly dependent for its very existence and exercise upon divine providence. For Tolkien, the divine Creator first brings the creaturely free will into being and by whose providence the individual will, its intentions, and its consequent, real-world effects, are continuously and actively kept in being.
