What I don't get is why, if people want to know about Christianity they don't just read the Bible - is that book so difficult or so boring that the only way to make sense of it is to read it in the 'light' of LotR.

I begin to wonder whether its not a case of trying to find the Bible in LotR but of trying to find LotR in the Bible...
