Melannen, welcome to the Downs! Discussions of Tolkien's Christianity have been very lively in the past here on the Barrow-Downs forum. If you're interested in reading them, just use the search function (near the top right of the page) and enter "Christianity" or "Bible", etc. However, there have also been discussions that got so heated and personal because members wanted to out-argue each other, that we had to close the threads. You are very welcome to talk about all aspects of Tolkien's life and works, as long as the discussions are open for all to exchange their thoughts (including and especially those who don't agree!), and as long as the posts are polite and respectful.
