In this bonus episode on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), Dr Marian Kelsey explains how she uses characters from The Lord of the Rings to teach about biblical prophets - including, the role of the prophet and the nature of prophecy - and the difficulty of discovering that students are not necessarily familiar with the same cultural content as their teachers.

If you haven't listened to our main episode on The Lord of the Rings, we recommend doing so first, so you have the full context of our discussion.

Many thanks to Dr Kelsey for her extra time.
