Up to now, there has been no substantial application of theological criticism to the works of Hugh MacLennan and Morley Callaghan, the two most important Canadian novelists before 1960. Yet both were religious writers during the period when Canada entered the modern, non-religious era, and both greatly influenced the development of our literature. MacLennan's journey from Calvinism to Christian existentialism is documented in his essays and seven novels, most fully in "The Watch that Ends the Night". Callaghan's fourteen novels are marked by tensions in his theology of Catholic humanism, with his later novels defining his theological themes in increasingly secular terms. This tension between narrative and metanarrative has produced both the artistic strengths and the moral ambiguities that characterize his work. Faith and Fiction: A Theological Critique of the Narrative Strategies of Hugh MacLennan and Morley Callaghan is a significant contribution to the relatively new field studying the relation between religion and literature in Canada. 410 0$aEditions SR ;$vv. 23. 517 3 $aTheological critique of the narrative strategies of Hugh MacLennan and Morley Callaghan 606 $aReligion in literature 615 0$aReligion in literature. 676 $a300 700 $aPell$b Barbara Helen$f1945-$01499910 712 02$aCanadian Corporation for Studies in Religion. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782631103321 996 $aFaith and fiction$93726352 997 $aUNINA
