daaan 's review for:
The Power and the Glory
by Graham Greene
This is a hard book to rate, I feel like I'd already internalised the message before I opened it, so it didn't feel quite so revealing. At it's core, it covers the somewhat superficial nature of religion, the fact that once you peel back the veneer you have very intellectual rigour, it doesn't make sense. But that misses the point, and the liberal modernising agenda fails to recognise that in a healthy state, the church is about individuals and recognising their individual spiritual needs, that have been wholeheartedly ignored by civil society. In a sense, religion is both irrational and essential. That's the brutal dualism of the priest and the lieutenant.
