- Annotation
- Biographical and manuscript study. Grimes contextualizes the religious themes of In Our Time, speculating on the influence of sermons by Hemingway s Oak Park pastor, William E. Barton, on the religious and ideological thinking of the young Hemingway as he entered World War I. Grimes unpacks Barton s theological and philosophical message regarding humanity s responsibility to maintain moral order in the face of Germany s wartime violence and brutality. Focuses on the connection between Nick s wounding in Chapter VI and the foxhole prayer of Chapter VII, reading the latter as both bargaining trick and sincere entreaty.
