Abstract The Lord of the Ring，which took the British author John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a decade to complete, was widely accepted as “the beginning of modern fantasy works” as well as a great novel, in which its religious and mythical elements have been concerned by academics。 The thesis attempts to focus on exploring the biblical elements implied in the novel from three aspects --- the religious implication of the narrative perspectives, the archetypes of the main characters and the correspondence between the area names in the novel and Bible。 By analyzing the religious implication, main characters and area names of The Lord of the Ring, this study may contribute further understanding of the religious implication in the great work。
