- Annotation
- Refuting critics who read Santiago as a Christ figure, McClain links Santiago's beliefs to Catholicism, arguing for his role as both priest and apostle. Concludes that Hemingway, in writing his novella about the aging fisherman's salvation, exemplifies the Catholic tenet "that art should reveal truths about God to people."
