Probably the best book I've read on this subject is "Tolkien: Man and Myth" by Joseph Pearce. He explains that, while LOTR is not a direct allegory of any sort, it is informed by the author's deep religious faith.

And you have to read the feminist interpretation of Frodo and Sam's encounter with Shelob--it is as funny as it is sad!

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the movie. I would like to see what BBC would do with it, given a proper budget. Each book given six hour-and-a-half segment... drool.
