Danny Olinger and Camden Bucey discuss Graham Greene's novel, The Power and the Glory, which raises many questions about the nature of faith, ordination, and the sacraments through the lens of Roman Catholic theology. Greene said, "The aim of the book was to oppose the power of the sacraments and the indestructibility of the Church on the one hand with, on the other, the merely temporal of an essentially Communist state" (Goodman, 88). John Updike called this novel, "Graham Greene's masterpiece."

Danny Olinger is General Secretary for the Committee on Christian Education of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
