A Pilgrim’s Progress: The Christian Imagination of Flannery O’Connor| Prof. Raymond Hain
The Thomistic Institute
Celebrating the Sensuous and the Divine
The sensuous beauty, tastes, textures, and natural elements like the songs of birds are worth celebrating joyfully, as Christians believe they come from God. Tolkien finds joy in the natural world and tries to recreate it in his fictional works, aiming to evoke wonder beyond the mind. C. S. Lewis shares Tolkien's perspective, while Flannery O'Connor focuses on the mystical and human aspects, highlighting the inadequacy of the natural world compared to the divine. O'Connor emphasizes the human condition of suffering on earth, stating that true joy may only be attained after death and resurrection.
