Tolkien was a medieval scholar. Medievalism was a mix of folk Christian stories and pagan myths. So it isn't a doctrinaire Christian story, but a parallel mythology that takes from both sources.
this is very well written. If you are trying to introduce Christians to this series, they would be hard pressed to not see the benefit of reading it. I don’t specifically agree with everything. My opinion is that LoTR is just a parallel to morality and not specifically Christianity. However, I can see your connections as valid.
Well written, God bless
Thank you!
I enjoyed writing this article
