I wont say yes or no because no one could be sure,I seriously thing that Tolkien did'nt mean to show Frodo,Gandalf or Aragorn as a Christ figure,Tolkien was a Christian,and so I think that his Christian beliefs show up in his writings,and there are alot of LOTR charecters that give of themselves or have christian charecteristics-that is such a stinking long word-so my answer would be NO and maybe.
