Theology on Tap, New Gardening Product, Tolkien

Max is going to grow seedlings to order this spring: You place your order with him; we'll grow it for delivery at the date you request. You then pay for it and transplant it. All non-GMO all the time; organic. For an extra dollar, he'll provide it in a biodegradable pot that you can put straight into the ground.

It seems like a good idea. We'll see if the idea takes off.

Theology on Tap. Topic: Gnosticism. It's been many years since I studied Gnosticism, but I was hip deep into it when studying Voegelin. I even bought and read Hans Jonas' *The Gnostic Religion*. Jonas was a friend of Voegelin's and, according to Voegelin, the definitive source on all things ancient Gnostic. It was fun to dive back into the topic in preparation for this lecture. Expect a scaled-down version of the lecture on the next podcast episode.

Tolkien nerds rejoice: A massive JRR collection is coming to the United States in a few days: [Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth will run at New York's Morgan Library and Museum from January 25th through May 12th](https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/01/14/tokien-maker-of-middle-earth-exhibit-lord-of-the-rings-hobbit/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that it's going to "travel" the country, so unless you're in the Big Apple, you won't see it.

The same article, however, contained this disappointing nugget: "Amazon is set to expand on Tolkien's work with a new television series. The series will reportedly focus on young Aragorn, the heir to the throne of Gondor who goes into self-imposed exile with the Rangers of the North. Conflicting accounts have surfaced about about Jackson's involvement with the series." Dang it. I was really excited about the series and was hoping it was going to cover *The Silmarillion*. That's really disappointing. Even more disappointing: Tolkien didn't write much about "young Aragorn," so I'm guessing the series is going to permit a lot of artistic license. If they bring in Peter Jackson, we can count on Aragorn going through a transgender phase in which he excoriates Hobbits for trying to keep foreigners out of their idyllic Shire.
