    Joseph Loconte - J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Confront the Gathering Storm

    02/2/2026 | 41 mins.
    On this week’s episode of The Current Thing I am joined by author Joseph Loconte to talk about his new book, The War for Middle-earth, which focuses on how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were shaped by the two great wars of the 20th century.

    We discuss:
    -How Lewis and Tolkien preserved their belief in heroism and honour even after suffering through war
    -How the West became disillusioned from the 1930s onwards
    -What Lewis would have made of the current political predicament in Western nations
    -Tolkien’s support of Franco in the Spanish Civil War
    -How to reclaim our ‘civilisational confidence’
    -Whether Lewis would have eventually converted to Catholicism, as some claim
    -How Lewis’s work compares to Tolkien’s in significance and quality
    -The lost art of male friendship
    -Why Joseph converted from Catholic to Protestant
    And lots more!
