Tolkien on Sex
In his Crosswalk blog today, Al Mohler tells us about a letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to his son, Michael, in which he shares his views on manhood, marriage, and sex. Mohler judges the letter to be "a model of fatherly concern, counsel, and instruction." Mohler also cites a letter from Tolkien to C.S. Lewis that contains this wonderful quote: "Christian marriage is not a prohibition of sexual intercourse, but the correct way of sexual temperance--in fact probably the best way of getting the most satisfying sexual pleasure. . . ."
