Providence in LOTR?

[Gandalf_theGrey]

Hullo Raefindel:

It's good to know you. * bows a greeting * [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You ask regarding Tolkien, and why he ...

created a world where Judeo-Christian befliefs did not exist and studied and modeled it after cultures where said Judeo-Christian beliefs did not exist. Why would he do that?

I would answer that the best truths are universal, and that together these universal truths form Truth.

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
