Title: Better than the Bible
Review: Another reviewer has said the Silmarillion is "the next best thing to the Bible." In my humble opinion, it is much better,and in many ways deeper. From the wonderful creation myth in which the world is SUNG (not just spoken) into existence, and evil is seen literally as a kind of disharmony, to the philosophically brilliant understanding of the human condition by contrasting our human freedom through the "gift" of death with the Eleve's deathless fate being tied to the world, to the beautiful and spare telling of individual tales, this book continues to bring me delights, tears, and indescribably deep emotions after many readiings. A beautiful and profound meditation on the deep questions of mortality, good and evilI, freedom and fate; I recommend it to anyone who is on the path to becoming more fully human.
