You have to know Professor Helms

I took a couple of courses from Professor Helms in the early 1990s, a good twenty or so years AFTER he wrote these books. What the reader has to know going into this work is that Professor Helms teaches a course on Biblical Backgrounds of Literature and has written a wonderful book entitled Gospel Fiction. Helms's slant is not Christian, per se, but he does analyze Tolkien through the lens of the New Testament and the Hebrew Bible. Plus, he is one of the greatest college professors I ever had.
