Should Christians Read Tolkien?

What is our liberty as Christians when it comes to entertainment? Where is the line between the acceptable and the unacceptable? On this episode of Conversations with a Calvinist, Keith welcomes Jake Corn to discuss the concept of Fantasy Fiction and whether or not Christians can or should enjoy it. They discuss the works of G.K. Chesterton, J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling. They also discuss fantasy games such as Dungeons and Dragons which were universally condemned in the 80s and 90s by Jack Chick.   

On the show, Jake mentioned a free class on this subject given at his seminary. The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRgREWf4NFWYkdjziCtks-Gws5YIdN0Fi
