J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are best known today as beloved authors of fantasy and science fiction novels. Tolkien wrote “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings,” and Lewis is known for the Perelandra Trilogy (also called the “Space Trilogy”) and the Narnia series.

These books go beyond mere entertainment. They defended traditional Christian values, demonstrating the continuing relevance of wisdom, courage, virtue, and faith.
