I agree and know that Tolkien hated allegory, but I have noticed that most writers write based on their personal ethos. So it does not suprise me that The Lost Road and the biblical Creation/Apocalypse stories have many similarites. Personally, I think it is beautiful. But then again, I am a Tolkienista!
