What if a Nazgul were redeemed?

Back with another BIG "what if" question, Nick Polk invites return guest, Tripp Fuller, to help answer "What if a Nazgul were redeemed by Iluvatar?" We discuss the Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power, and the Silmarillion, as we wrestle with the idea of redemption in Arda! We explore the nature of the Nazgul and their history, as well as examples of redemption throughout the story of Middle Earth!

.

Is Ilúvatar a God? Did Ilúvatar create humans? Who are the nine Nazgûl? Why is Isildur a Nazgûl? Who is the strongest Nazgûl? How is Aragorn related to Isildur? Why are orcs hated in Lord of the Rings? Why did Smeagol turn into Gollum? Is Gollum good or bad? What is an example of redemption? What is the redemption in The Lord of the Rings? What if Gollum was redeemed? What did Waldreg do? Who is the owner of the tavern in The Rings of Power? Why did Adar want the sword? Will Waldreg become a Ring Wraith? Who were the 9 Ringwraiths? Did Waldreg create Mordor? Will Waldreg find redemption? Who is Geoff Morrell? Can Satan be saved? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

About the Podcast

Systematic Geekology
Priests to the Geeks
This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?"
