Christianity is a central theme in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional works about Middle-earth, but always a hidden one. This allows the book to be read at different levels, and its meaning to be applied by the reader, rather than forcing a single meaning on the reader. There is no single Christ-figure comparable to C. S. Lewis's Aslan in his Narnia books, but the characters of Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn exemplify the threefold office, the prophetic, priestly, and kingly aspects of Christ respectively.

  • El cristianismo es un tema central en las obras ficticias de J. R. R. Tolkien sobre la Tierra Media, pero siempre oculto, lo que permite que sus obras se lean en diferentes niveles y que su significado sea descubierto por el lector en vez de presentarle un sentido único. No hay una personificación de Cristo comparable al personaje Aslan de Las Crónicas de Narnia. Sin embargo, existen reflejos de personificaciones de Cristo en Gandalf, Frodo y Aragorn, quienes simbolizan el de profeta, sacerdote y rey, respectivamente. (es)
