Tree of Tales: Tolkien, Literature, and Theology is a book of essays by various commentators addressing matters of theology in different themes and layers of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. It was compiled by Trevor Hart and Ivan Khovacs and published by Baylor University Press in April 2007.

"Tree of Tales proves once again the inexhaustible richness of Tolkien's work. The papers gathered here by a range of distinguished commentators make a real contribution to the growing field of Tolkien scholarship. The book would be a useful addition to any library concerned with the inter-relationship of theology and literature."
Stratford Caldecott
