Graham Greene explores problem and atonement in this penetrating book set in 1930s Mexico during the era of Communist spiritual persecutions. As revolutionaries determine to stamp out the evils of the church through violence, the previous Roman Catholic priest is on the lam, hunted by the police force lieutenant. Despite his own sense of worthlessness-he is a heavy drinker and has fathered an illegitimate child-he is determined to continue to function as a priest until captured. He's contrasted with Padre Jose, a priest who have accepted relationship and embodies humiliation. A Religious parable pitting God and religious beliefs against 20th-century materialism, The Power and the Glory is known as by many, including the publisher himself, to be Greene's best work.
