Richard Austin Freeman

    11. April 1862 – 28. September 1943

    Dieser Autor erlangte Berühmtheit durch seine Kriminalromane, die häufig im Bereich der forensischen Wissenschaft angesiedelt waren und die Figur des Dr. Thorndyke aufwiesen. Sein Stil zeichnet sich durch die sorgfältige Einbeziehung von echtem, wenn auch oft obskurem, wissenschaftlichem Wissen aus Bereichen wie Tropenmedizin, Metallurgie und Toxikologie aus. Er zog aus seinen frühen Erfahrungen als Kolonialchirurg, um seine Erzählungen zu bereichern, und gilt als Erfinder des „umgekehrten Kriminalromans“, bei dem das Verbrechen zu Beginn enthüllt wird und die nachfolgende Handlung sich auf die Bemühungen des Detektivs konzentriert, das Rätsel zu lösen.

      Theology through mythology J. R. R. Tolkien was many things: English Catholic, father and husband, survivor of two world wars, Oxford professor, and author. But he was also a theologian. Tolkien's writings exhibit a coherent theology of God and his works, but Tolkien did not present his views with systematic arguments. Rather, he expressed theology through story. In Tolkien Dogmatics, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien's entire corpus--The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond--as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. Tolkien Dogmatics is a comprehensive manual of Tolkien's theological thought arranged in traditional systematic theology categories, with sections on God, revelation, creation, evil, Christ and salvation, the church, and last things. Through Tolkien's imagination, we reencounter our faith.
