4.0

Not quite what I expected (though I'm not sure what exactly I did expect), but this is an interesting read. It essentially examines these authors and several of their works, and how they've woven faith into fantasy/myth. I was a little confused by their definition of myth (the foreword, I'm afraid was lost on me and I'm not sure what I read there XD), but it was neat to see, in particular, the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, since those were basically the only authors whose books I remember well (I've read McDonald, but that was years ago and I remember little), and seeing how their faith and ideas were tucked smoothly into their stories. Like Tolkien's The Silmarillion or Lewis' Space Trilogy. It was neat to see how their faith was worked into their words.
