Tolkien

I'm sure that Tolkien got inspiration from the Bible - many places! - But it's not a 'translation' of the Bible in any way...

Did you know the place Abraham did not (he nearly did..)kill Isac was called Moria?
And there is an unknown place/mountain in Israel called Moria - And some believe the other Moria is where Christ was crucified? (And some believe the two places are the same place...)

But, i don't believe Gandalf (who died for the others and resurrected again in Moria)
is a symbol for Christ all the way through the story - but some times you can think you have heard the story before in a way - and think of the Bible - and the next scene they act very 'non-biblish'...
