How do non-religious fans of J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) make spiritual meaning with his fiction? This project constructs an interdisciplinary framework of reception studies, narrative theology, and scholarship on Tolkien and religion to develop a survey probing non-religious fans' spiritual experience of The Lord of the Rings (LOTR). In-depth rhetorical analysis of survey findings will inform development of educational materials for public engagement with spiritual themes in Tolkien's work. The study responds directly to ongoing controversies over diverse readings of Tolkien by broadening the hermeneutical horizons of Tolkien studies and contributing to the study and practice of post-Christian communities of meaning.

J.R.R.的非宗教粉丝托尔金（1892-1973）在他的小说中赋予了精神意义？本研究以接受研究、叙事神学、托尔金与宗教研究为跨学科框架，探讨非宗教读者对《指环王》的精神体验。对调查结果的深入修辞分析将为托尔金作品中的精神主题的公众参与教育材料的开发提供信息。这项研究直接回应了对托尔金不同解读的持续争议，拓宽了托尔金研究的诠释学视野，并有助于后基督教意义社区的研究和实践。
