The Old Man and the Sea: Ernest Hemingway and the Godlessness of Modernism

Presented by Dr. Henry Russell · Published by TAN Books

Overview

Ernest Hemingway stands as one of the most recognizable figures in American literature, but his work cannot be fully understood apart from the spiritual crisis of modernism. In The Old Man and the Sea: Ernest Hemingway and the Godlessness of Modernism, Dr. Henry Russell guides students through Hemingway’s famous novella with academic rigor and a distinctly Catholic perspective.

Although Hemingway was nominally Catholic, his life and writings often reflect the desperation, isolation, and intermittent Godlessness that marked many modern American authors. Yet beneath the surface, traces of Catholic imagination remain. Dr. Russell explores whether Hemingway’s world is truly empty of God, or whether it is quietly haunted by Christ.

Drawn from TAN Courses’ broader American Literature lecture series, this focused short course examines the philosophical, theological, and political implications of The Old Man and the Sea. Students are invited to see American literature not merely as a school subject, but as a battleground of meaning, truth, suffering, and grace.

This course equips Catholics to speak with confidence about Hemingway, modernism, and the enduring presence of Christian thought within American letters.

What This Course Offers:

  • Catholic Literary Analysis: Study Hemingway through theology, philosophy, and moral imagination.
  • Modernism Explained: Understand the spiritual emptiness and crisis of meaning in modern literature.
  • Academic Confidence: Speak intelligently about a major American author from a faithful perspective.
  • Focused Short Course Format: Gain concentrated insight from Dr. Henry Russell’s larger American Literature series.
  • Analyze Hemingway Deeply: Explore the theological and philosophical meaning within The Old Man and the Sea.
  • Understand Modernism: Examine the desperation, isolation, and Godlessness found in modern American literature.
  • Recover the Catholic Imagination: See how Christ’s presence quietly haunts even secular literary works.
  • Think Beyond the Classroom: Engage topics rarely covered in standard high school literature courses.
  • Strengthen Cultural Discernment: Learn how literature reveals what a civilization believes about truth.
