This is a preview stream for our upcoming online class - Tolkien Heads. The class is for those who want to go deeper into Middle-earth, but don't know where to start. In this class you'll be accompanied by fellow Tolkien heads and guided by Tolkien experts like John Garth and Flemming Rutledge to help you "keep your feet" on your journey down the Tolkien Road. Everything from Tolkien's life, creation of Middle-earth, and faith will be covered, so you can increase your nerd street cred and follow the unending trail of Tolkien goodness. Plus, who doesn't want to nerd out during the new show Rings of Power! It's an open online class that is donation based (including 0), so if you want to nerd out come on! http://tolkienheadpod.com



Tolkien & Faith w/ Rev. Tom Emanuel
Tolkien Heads session #1
Streamed live on Aug 8, 2022

Rev. Tom Emanuel (he/him/his) was born and raised on sacred Lakota land in the Paha Sapa (Black Hills) of South Dakota, which is where his father first read The Hobbit aloud to him when he was too young to remember it. Tom was trained as a social scientist at the University of South Dakota and as a theologian at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA. He is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and, beginning in Fall 2022, a doctoral student at the University of Glasgow, where his research will focus on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, fandom, and post-Christian spiritual community. When he's not reading Tolkien aloud to his two small children, Tom can usually be found hiking, singing, or working away at a fantasy novel of his own. http://tolkienheadpod.com
