Annotation
Examines Hemingway’s evolving religious beliefs within the theological context of the modern postwar world, particularly his relationship with Catholicism. Traces religious and spiritual themes throughout his canon, contending that Hemingway’s sense of sin is reflected in flawed characters, and that the author believed those who seek salvation must first acknowledge their own darkness. Concludes that the author exhibited mystical and theologically ritualistic sensibilities throughout his life.
