Yeah, and the surrounding Christians get nervous: "Are you reading that AGAIN? You're obsessing!" ...and I respond, "Your point?" I think that's one reason that I love some of Tolkien's letters so much (I always rave about that one to Michael, about women, and communion.) It shows that the spiritual side of Tolkien's sub-creation isn't accidental. The man was deep. And so are his books.
