Gondor Has No King

I love movies, especially movies with epic battle scenes. Movies have the capability of communicating either very direct messages, or very subtle messages, and it still be enjoyable to the movie watcher. Many times, we don’t even realize that the movie communicates a message; it’s just a story. Depending on the message communicated, this could be good or bad.

The conversations and blogs about his book, and the topic of Universalism overall, exploded overnight, and then seem to have died out just as quickly.
