Where can I find Eru's yardstick in LoTR? There are no Ten Commandments, Book of Deuteronomy or Sermon on the Mount to stand as such. Is Eru even named?
Are the Valar or Maiar ever refered to directly?
All we get are vague hints like Gandalf's words to Frodo that he was meant to have the Ring by the will of someone/something other than Sauron or Gandalf being sent back after his encounter in Moria by some unnamed and undefined higher power.
I know there is more information in the Appendices but few people bother to read through them all and even fewer go on to The Silmarillion.
