Graham Greene’s novels often bring religion, social class, institutional power, and personal responsibility into the same moral landscape. Critics have paid considerable attention to Greene’s Catholic imagination, but the connection between religious belief and socioeconomic inequality deserves closer attention. This paper examines Brighton Rock (1938), The Power and the Glory (1940), and The Heart of the Matter (1948) through the idea of the “religious curtain of lies.” This is an analytical metaphor used here to describe the ways religious language can sometimes hide inequality, justify authority, or turn social suffering into a matter of personal guilt. At the same time, religion can give marginalised people a sense of dignity and a language with which to question or resist oppression. Drawing on Marxist ideas about class and ideology, along with scholarship on Greene’s Catholic imagination, the paper argues that religion in Greene’s fiction cannot be placed neatly on either side of the divide between social control and spiritual freedom. It often does both. In Brighton Rock, Catholic belief is closely tied to criminal marginality, gender, and class. In The Power and the Glory, spiritual authority grows out of poverty, suffering, and political persecution. In The Heart of the Matter, Catholic conscience is shaped by the moral contradictions of British colonial rule. Greene therefore presents religious belief as deeply conflicted. It can support existing hierarchies, but it can also expose their cruelty and moral failure. His importance as a novelist lies partly in the way he brings social structures and individual conscience into constant tension. The “religious curtain of lies” does not mean that religion itself is deceptive. Rather, it provides a way of asking when religious narratives hide material inequality and when they help us see that inequality more clearly.

Graham Greene’s fiction repeatedly explores the tension between religious authority and individual freedom, showing how institutional demands for redemption can sometimes limit personal choice. This paper examines how religious leaders influence personal freedom in the United States through Greene’s treatment of salvation. Although Greene was British, his ideas about faith also connect strongly with American religious culture, where faith and liberty often exist in tension. By examining key novels alongside the American religious landscape, this study shows how religious leaders can act both as guides and as gatekeepers—offering hope while also setting moral boundaries. Greene’s Catholic imagination, especially his emphasis on the “religious sense” and the possibility of redemption beyond orthodox forms, allows him to question clerical authority in ways that connect with American concerns about institutional power and individual conscience. The paper places Greene’s protagonists between accepting and rejecting personal salvation, showing how grace often works not simply through the Church, but sometimes despite it. This highlights the gap between strict doctrine and lived moral experience, a tension that remains important in current debates about religion, power, and the limits of individual conscience in the United States. By reading Greene against the background of American religious liberty and the role of faith leaders in public life, the paper contributes to the continuing discussion of how ideas of salvation can both support and limit individual freedom in modern democratic societies.

This qualitative study examines bilingual Saudi university students’ perceptions of “untranslatable” Arabic expressions and what these perceptions reveal about the relationship between language, culture, and worldview. To address limited research on how bilingual speakers understand untranslatability, eight Master’s students from King Saud University, Riyadh were interviewed about three to five Arabic expressions they considered difficult to translate into Standard English. Participants explained the reasons for their perceptions and discussed the cultural, emotional, and pragmatic meanings that may be lost in translation. Findings indicate that many Arabic expressions contain cultural, religious, emotional, and pragmatic meanings that cannot be fully reproduced in English. Examples included expressions related to communal solidarity (الفزعة), gratitude and blessing (يعطيك العافية), honor and dignity (مويه وجه), and culturally embedded social rituals (نعيمًا). Participants emphasized that perceived untranslatability primarily results from differences in cultural context, emotional nuance, metaphorical imagery, and religious meaning rather than vocabulary gaps alone. The findings suggest that Arabic expressions often function as cultural scripts reflecting values such as hospitality, respect, solidarity, and social reputation. Translating them into English may therefore simplify or reduce their cultural and emotional depth. The study highlights the importance of cultural awareness in translation and TESOL and supports more culturally responsive approaches to bilingual language teaching.

The increasing adoption of digital technologies has transformed public administration by enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. In Nigeria, the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) was introduced to improve payroll administration, eliminate ghost workers, and strengthen public financial management. Despite these achievements, the growing dependence on digital platforms has exposed government information systems to cybersecurity threats capable of undermining accountability and public trust. This study examined the cybersecurity challenges confronting the IPPIS and their implications for public sector accountability. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of cybersecurity threats, cybersecurity control measures, and cybersecurity policy compliance on public sector accountability. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, and primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to employees of selected Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) operating under the IPPIS framework. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27. The findings revealed that cybersecurity control measures significantly enhance public sector accountability (β = 0.470, p < .05), while cybersecurity policy compliance exerts the strongest positive influence (β = 0.586, p < .05). Conversely, cybersecurity threats had a negative but statistically insignificant effect (β = –0.068, p > .05). The study concludes that effective cybersecurity governance is indispensable for sustaining transparency, accountability, and integrity in Nigeria's digital public administration. It recommends continuous investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, strict enforcement of cybersecurity policies, regular staff capacity building, and strengthened institutional governance to improve the resilience of government information systems.
