Ever notice Frodo's similarity to the scapegoat in the Old Testament?
But Tolkien added a twist...
Quoting: Copperegla J. R. R. Tolkien was a political writer. His friend C.S. Lewis was the religious writer. They really pushed each other toward what would become Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. While their love of fantasy and Norse folklore was the root of these stories; the books are entwined with their theology. The Chronicles being a religious tale and Lord of the rings had political roots. Tolkien converted C.S. Lewis to Christianity. Lewis had been an agnostic, and thought the Eastern religions were better, if one had to have religion at all (spirituality is better than religion anyway, if you want to know my opinion). C.S. Lewis became a member of the Church of England rather than a Roman Catholic, somewhat to Tolkien's horror...
