Is LOTR a Christian allegory?

It's definitely Christian, but much deeper and better than mere allegory. "Narnia" is allegory.

“Narnia” is allegory.

As well as Lewis’ Space Trilogy

Out of the Silent Planet
Perelandra
That Hideous Strength

I actually prefer The Space Trilogy (so called) by Lewis over Narnia (which I appreciate). It is adult fantasy.

That Hideous Strength is one of the most vivid and chilling portrayals of Good versus Evil I have ever read.

Still, LotR is my all-time favorite, no contest.
