if you're looking for them. The title 'Return of the King' screams 'the return
of Jesus Christ'. Gandalf's resurrection echoes Jesus' own. The Ring can
represent sin. Sauron can represent Satan.
However, the great thing about Lord of the Rings is that it's not strictly
allegorical. You may see one parallel, and another, but together they say
something else. It's great. There is so much knowledge to be gleaned in between
the lines.
I consider The Lord of the Rings to be a 'Christian' work, because they've
greatly helped my in my walk with the
Lord.
