About the Title
The verbally ironic title The Power and the Glory comes from the expression of praise to God often recited at the end of the Christian prayer the Lord's Prayer (or Our Father): "For thine is the kingdom and the power and glory, for ever and ever, Amen." The religious characters in the novel, however, have no power and no glory.
