LOTR-A spiritual allegory? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

According to my mother (the LotR fanatic in my family, next to me,) said that Sauron is like the evil one and Gandalf the White is like Jesus Christ. Now I agree with this theory because Tolkien was a theologian before he wrote the Hobbit. So some ideas and characters in his book could portray Christian characters.
