From Nathan’s ovine rebuke of David through Bunyan’s Pilgrim and Lewis’ Narnian fantasies, stories have been used throughout history to precipitate encounters with truth. In the twentieth century, through the work of philosophers like Sartre and Derrida, story has been, in a sense elevated from a tool available for communication and instruction to sum of all speech. At the same time, story has also been demoted from being a powerful conveyance of truth (or falsehood) to being merely a means of persuasion. Truth has disappeared as a source, goal, and content of communication. This paper argues that in such an era, when truth is invisible to so many, that stories are still able to give witness to Christian truth. In particular, this paper will explore the fictional works of J. R. R. Tolkien to examine how something that has no mention of deities of any sort, is emphatically not intended as allegory, and draws heavily on pagan myth could still be called “Christian” and, indeed, might provide a helpful rebuttal to the postmodern dismissal of truth.
