From the Inside Flap
"This book of essays is your lembas bread for the cinematic journey that is The Lord of the Rings. True to form, even a nibble of Wright s delicious writing will satisfy. Amazing stuff." --Cliff Vaughn, Culture Editor, Ethics Daily
"The 'power' of Peter Jackson s The Lord of the Rings is the power of story. Greg Wright demonstrates that the greatest stories gain much of their strength from how they resonate in our lives, depicting our virtues and foibles at the religious, spiritual or moral levels. Wright brings to his critique a vast knowledge of Tolkien extending far beyond the adapted work, yet he is also sensitive to the demands of film craft and from this perspective probes the decisions Jackson made in bringing the novel to his medium. The critic rightly points out that the greatest departures from the novel s Christian spirit occur at junctures such as Aragorn s 'no mercy' cry at Helm s Deep rather than through the more obvious changes to Tolkien s story. As the majority of these essays were originally posted on the highly popular HollywoodJesus.com website, Peter Jackson in Perspective is also a fascinating record of the dynamics of web criticism." --Christopher Garbowski, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University
"Greg Wright understands Tolkien, and he understands the power and nature of film. He writes with unmatched insight about the ways that Peter Jackson s movie trilogy alternately amplifies, mutes, and reworks Tolkien s literary tale. Wright approaches each medium with both the reverence of an enthusiast and the critical eye of an investigator. What emerges is a collection of essays that cuts to the heart of Jackson s grand interpretation. Peter Jackson in Perspective is an important contribution to the cultural conversation about Tolkien and film, and nobody with an interest in The Lord of the Rings or the intersection of faith, storytelling, and cinema should miss it. Best commentary on the films I have read, hands-down." --Andy Rau, Managing Editor, Internet for Christians
