Graham Greene

Der englische Schriftsteller Graham Greene (1904–1991) wirkte nach seiner Konversion zum Katholizismus vor allem in England und Frankreich als Romancier und Kritiker. In Werken wie „Die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit“ thematisierte er moralische Dilemmata, menschliches Scheitern und das Ringen um Glauben, womit er zeitweise auch Kritik kirchlicher Stellen auf sich zog. Für Bibelleser beleuchtet seine Literatur die Unergründlichkeit göttlicher Gnade an gebrochenen Menschen, ohne in religiöse Selbstgerechtigkeit zu verfallen.
