[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77290935, member: 330042"] Agreed. You can't understand Tolkein if you don't understand the underlying early 20th century Catholic worldview it comes from. The battles were not the central part of LoTR. LoTR is a religious allegory, but one far more sophisticated than what Lewis made, for adults rather than children. [/QUOTE]
