MIDDLE-EARTH: Christian Propaganda or Pre-Christian Mythology?

Are we imposing Christianity onto MIddle-earth? That's what one listener thinks...

“This show is Christian propaganda disguised as a discussion of Tolkien mythology. It’s fine to be Christian, obviously Tolkien was a Christian, but Christianity doesn’t exist in Arda. The mythology was not meant to be a metaphor for Christianity/the Bible - Tolkien had said that he dislikes such devices in story telling."

In this video, I respond to that misguided accusation, and reveal what Tolkien actually thought and wrote about this topic.
