Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is full of Christian symbolism reflecting his own Catholic faith. However, he admitted later in life he meant the Lord of the Rings to be an implicitly religious, though he concluded it ended up being an explicitly religious work. What Christian elements shine through his work and the movie adaptations by Peter Jackson? The figure of Christ is one such important symbolic element in the Lord of the RIngs. Watch Christian's ThinkingWest Podcast (formerly Coffee Break Philosophy) episode to understand how Tolkien saw Jesus Christ in his most famous work.
