Whatever the personal convictions of the film's collaborators, not only will audiences find here virtues like valor, fealty, honor, and self-sacrifice, but also Tolkien's more explicitly Christian concepts of absolute truth, good and evil, and the sure hand of Providence.

Huh? I don't recall reading about elves, hobbits and wizards in the bible. This is a way-over-the-top analysis that is its own audience.

The concepts quoted are spot on for Tolkien's themes.
