In Sacred Scripture as the True Myth, Hammond explores J. R. R. Tolkien’s profound insight that Christianity is the myth that became historical reality. Bridging biblical inerrancy and literary interpretation, this compelling study examines how divine revelation communicates eternal truth through sacred narrative. Drawing upon Catholic tradition, philosophy, theology, and literary scholarship, Hammond offers a fresh perspective on Scripture as both historically true and richly symbolic, inviting readers to rediscover the Bible as God’s unfolding story of salvation.
