This paper sets out to analyze the relationship between religion and faith and how they are intertwined in Brian Moore’s novels. Five selected Brian Moore’s novels are analyzed in chronological order: The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1955), An Answer from Limbo (1962), Catholics (1972), Black Robe (1985) and The Colour of Blood (1987). The paper attempts to show how each of the selected novels reflects the author’s attitude to religion and faith as developed through different stages: a rejection of conventional Catholicism, exploration of one’s own secular beliefs, and a return to an open interest in Catholicism. The paper also shows the change of focus in Brian Moore’s novels from the psychology of characters and meanings of individual beliefs to more public and political aspects of the Catholic Church. Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom odnosa i međusobne povezanosti religije i vjere u romanima Briana Moore-a. Pet odabranih romana Briana Moore-a analizirano je kronološkim slijedom: The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1955), An Answer from Limbo (1962), Catholics (1972), Black Robe (1985) i The Colour of Blood (1987). Cilj ovog rada je pokazati kako svaki od odabranih romana odražava autorov odnos prema religiji i vjeri i kako se taj odnos razvijao kroz različite faze: odbacivanje konvencionalnog katoličanstva, propitkivanje vlastitih svjetovnih uvjerenja i obnovljeni interes za katoličanstvo. Rad također prati promjenu fokusa u romanima Briana Moore-a koji ide od psihologije likova i značenja osobnih vjerovanja do javnog i političkog aspekta Katoličke Crkve. |
