The Bible has narrowly beaten out the Lord of the Rings to be lauded as the greatest fantasy epic of all time, by the Fantasy Fiction Federation. The competition was fierce with noted tomes such as The Hobbit, His Dark Materials and The English Patient in the running. The Bible is not only the world’s most popular fantasy epic, but is also considered to be the most widely read piece of fiction in history.
A source from the Fantasy Fiction Federation commented:
“We don’t think we have settled the debate about what is the greatest fantasy epic of all time at all, we have probably just started some more! I mean who can really say is a cooler character, Gandalf or Jesus? Jesus pulled off some incredible miracles in the book, but would he have been able to have stared down the Balrog, I just don’t know. I know that I do think that Jesus and his apostles would have taken out the Fellowship of the Ring!
“Personally, I consider Sauron to be a better villain than Pontius Pilate or King Herod, but I know these things are completely subjective. We are just delighted to have in some small way given the Bible the special status it deserves.”
