Replying to my own comment, clearly I'm out of control here ;^) But it occurs to me that Brin's axe to grind is *also* the question of whether myth, especially fantasy, and especially LOTR, is theologically good or bad, it's just that for Brin, the yardstick of theological goodness is Enlightenment idealism (the Brin version, anyway). That seems entertaining somehow.
