Title: Hemingway, Religion, and Masculine Virtue
Author/Creator: Joseph Prud'homme
Publication Details: Hemingway on Politics and Rebellion, pp.104-129
Annotation: Refutes popular readings of Hemingway as a nihilist and fair-weather Catholic, pointing to the strong Catholic sentiment running throughout For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, and Today is Friday as affirmation of the author s devotion. Prud homme characterizes the code of the Hemingway Catholic Hero and argues for its continued relevance to contemporary masculine values. Notes differences between Hemingway s depiction of Christ and portrayals found in Mel Gibson s film The Passion of the Christ and the Promise Keepers movement.
