I never knew that Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy was Christian. Did you? And unless someone had informed that C.S. Lewis was a Christian writer, I wouldn’t have known.

Tolkein and Lewis were good friends. LOTR has alot of Christian themes in it.

No offense but you're kidding right? I read C.S. Lewis as a child and I saw the Christian connection. Course I had read Tolkien as a child too and I don't think I saw the Christian tie-ins until I was an early teenager. That took a little time to ruminate to catch that one (and about the third or fourth time through). But the Lewis books are (and this is a very good thing) rather blatant about it.
