A criticism of the book "The Fellowship of the Ring: The Lord of the Rings Part 1," by J. R. R. Tolkien is presented. It focuses on the principle of weakness as the providential medium of the triumph of good over evil, thereby pointing Tolkien as a theologically well-informed and perceptive writer.
