Kazantzakis: Prophet of Non-Hope

“Kazantzakis was indeed a soul in search of himself. … In his search for God, he became a prophet of non-hope. For him, 'a world without God has no foundations, but a world without justice cannot be governed'…. His theology is both radically Christian and non-Christian. He has rightly stressed the need for freedom in our struggle to find meaning in life. He has taken a necessary look at the abuses of religiosity in the name of Christ and has shown a divine passion to keep life human.”
