To be more specific, Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings references three major biblical and Christian themes. The first is biblical symbolism in the form of specific symbols and elements, the second is the inclusion of three major character archetypes who resemble Christ, and the third is the themes of power, subjugation, and freedom.
While both movies contain wizards and allusions to magic, Christians have little to fear when it comes to “The Lord of the Rings” due in large part to the fact that Tolkien was himself a committed Christian, the two men said. “The Lord of the Rings” — set for release on Dec. 19 — has prompted some of the same questions from
