This; The Grand Inquisitor and the figures of Alyosha and The Elder. Except you asked for sci-fi. Genre-fiction pleb.
jason voorhees
the three stigmata of palmer eldritch

Space Trilogy by CS Lewis for not even trying to be subtle.
A Canticle for Leibowitz for straightforward Catholicism.
The Book of the New Sun for maximum cred/critical acclaim/literary merit.
Countdown to Eschaton by John C Wright for something more pulpy.
The Divine Invasion by PKD for deranged theology.
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
james blish, a case of conscience.. wait, no, that's a Satan allegory.

>Kinda, but it's more of what if the bible was written by a schizophrenic on meth.
>Implying it wasn't
Gandalf is Óðinn.

>We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Seems to follow a basic sacrificial lamb thing
like if the bible just cut out after jesus' crucifiction
and left it ambiguous as to whether he really was the son of god
Lotr is not allegory. Don't give me any death of the author nonsense. It's not allegory at all and the author said so.

Well, maybe not in the ham-fisted "A represents B" style of Lewis, but there's semiotically Jesus-y stuff all over.
>>7700671
only the vague way that almost every story follows the heros journey in one form or another including the bible and things before it, but there's no saviour character knowingly going to his death to save the lives or souls of the many
except for tom bombadil of course
