Tolkien, Lewis, and Underlying Reality

Tolkien asks: What moves you most? What gives your life meaning? 

Lewis replies: The stories I love. When I’m done with a story I love, it inspires me. I’m ready to be better. They inspire me and move me. They give me meaning in life.

Tolkien says: The reason that stories move you is they get in touch with some underlying reality. 

The gospel story is the reality to which all the other stories point. The Good News; love, hope, peace, joy, and more.
