That is an interesting bit of trivia, Emmaus, about J.R.R. Tolkien's being involved in the Jerusalem Bible. That's news to me. My contribution to this trivial pursuit is to note that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were good friends. And did you know that the initials C.S. stand for Clive Staples? Is it any wonder why Professor Lewis used initials? :-) I dare not ask what J.R.R. stands for! --Hank | ||||||

Hank, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. I was aware of the friendship with Lewis. They both belonged to a informal group of friends called The Inklings who were Oxford Dons and aspiring writers. I can understand the initial for Clive Staples, but not for John. I wonder is the use of initials was just a common practice of the day in some circles. Emmaus |

Greetings Emmaus! I also am associated with and know quite a bit about Tolkien.. Perhaps we could chat a little about that away from the Forum. Blessings to you, N.E. Keck :-) |
