i believe the trilogy is in a way based on some of the stories in the bible. the main theme of the whole book is the fight against evil. frodo who has to carry this burden this sacrifice could be a jesus figure who i believe would've had great diffuculty coming to terms with the fact that he is the son of god. frodo does not want to do this quest but has to for it is his destiny.
could the fellowship represent the disciples? and boromir represent judas?
the temptation of the ring to frodo thoughout the book could represent jesus' battle with the devil in the desert.
there are too many parallels between the bible and the trilogy to list here so tolkien must have thought that the stories in the bible could be told in a different way but with the same morals.
