Jonathan S. McIntosh - The Flame Imperishable: Tolkien, St. Thomas, and the Metaphysics of Faerie

Title: The Flame Imperishable: Tolkien, St. Thomas, and the Metaphysics of Faerie
Description: U.S.A. Angelico Press, 2017-12. First American.Edition. Hardcover. Collectible First American Edition 2017 Fine Hardcover Fine Dust Jacket Fully intact NOT a library copy. Clean 289 pp. Excellent Catholic understanding in J.R.R. Tolkiens Metaphysics of the "Flame Imperishable" and his projecting of the Hebrew Bible "Burning Bush" and as the author states the Lord declared to Moses (as Iluvatar) from this flame "I am that am". Indeed Prof. Tolkien taught 'The Old English Exodus' and published same in the 30s and 40s. Indeed I believe one can see in Gandalf, beside Merlin, a "Moses" perhaps the same if not even more than Odin. I think personally Tolkien's Catholicism and devotion to the Virgin Mary gives a depth and truth of vision to his work. See our Three Geese in Flight Books Scans, Cover, Edition and discussion of "Flame Imperishable and Burning Bush". Pristine First Edition copy. Fine/Fine.
