Hence the God of Greene's world is a God that all the characters come to fear though they do not necessarily love Him because He keeps them from their most intimate desires because he construes them as sin and punishes and distributes justice accordingly. Thus Greene has examined the nature of the inexhaustibility of the Church though the lieutenant has strived to eliminate all physical traces of the church the church is ultimately transcendental and lives on as a spiritual presence and an image of Christ that lives on in the minds and hearts of his followers even though Christ is no longer physically present on earth. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Atlas to the heart![]() ![]() ![]() The series and the book version are both based on the insights Brown collected in two decades of her research.
