Well-known and best-selling literary writer and teacher, Joseph Pearce (Literary Converts, Tolkien: Man & Myth) presents a stimulating and vivid biography about the world's most revered writer that is sure to be controversial. Unabashedly polemical, with scholarship, insight and keen observation, Pearce shows with convincing reasoning and persuasive evidence that the beloved Bard was, as many have thought, a Catholic, and a man of strong Christian principles and beliefs.
