The Power and the Glory is a 1940 novel by British author Graham Greene. It was initially published in the United States under the title The Labyrinthine Ways. Greene's novel tells the story of a renegade Catholic 'whisky priest' (a term coined by Greene) living in the Mexican state of Tabasco in the 1930s, a time when the Mexican government was attempting to suppress the Catholic Church. That suppression had resulted in the Cristero War, so named for its Catholic combatants' slogan "Viva Cristo Rey" ("Long live Christ the King"). In 1941, the novel received the Hawthornden Prize British literary award. In 2005, it was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the hundred best English-language novels since 1923.
