I have really enjoyed the learned comments and polite debate on this thread too. Ultimately there will be no definitive answer to the debate. Even if Tolkien were alive he would probably find it hard to ascertain exactly what influences were at work in various parts of the plot and its writing! It is obvious that everyone sees truth in it. Christians will obviously see that truth as coming from God.
