This guest-lecture at Simon Fraser University on Biblical intertextuality in fantasy and science fiction focuses on three excerpts from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien (Gandalf’s fight with the Balrog in The Lord of the Rings), C.S. Lewis (Chapter 20 of Out of the Silent Planet), and John Wyndham (an excerpt from The Day of the Triffids). For those interested, the relevant excerpts are collected in this PDF.

The lecture, along with the subsequent Q&A, can also be seen on YouTube.
