      - 4) The theme of sanctification is also seen in Bilbo's life. Especially when he kills the spiders to save his friends.
      - 5) The danger of greed is one of the great enemies this book seeks to display.
    - - Men were included to slay the serpent.
      - This book expertly displays what the devil actually is - a serpent (Rev 12:9)
