THE POWER AND THE GLORY
Graham Greene
Greene challenges us as human beings regarding faith, religious ritual, sin, confession, absolution and martyrdom. ... Although, when you look closer at the vision Greene has created for us, you soon realise the decay, squalor, human degradation, and the fear he is describing, are actually reflections of the characters turmoil throughout the novel.
The Power and the Glory is set in Mexico in the early 1930’s, where the state has outlawed the Church for its greed and corruption of the people. ...
Greene explores so many aspects and paradoxes of Christianity.
