People can force whatever analogies on the books they want. Here are some I've encountered in friends and other people.

-The ring holds the idea of human weakness/temptation.

-Gandalf is ressurrected from the dead, though this would represent a more Johovah's Wittness point of view than Christian (my friend probably didn't realize that at the time).

-The Nazgul are demons (obviously)

That's all I can remember right now.
