This book represents a study of the attitude of Christopher Marlowe toward religion through critical analysis of three selected plays: The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus, and The Massacre at Paris. Marlowe exposes the hypocrisy of those who lay claim to righteousness and to be followers of the true teachings of religion while in fact they are obsessed with the idea of asserting power over others. Marlowe seems to be suggesting throughout his plays that a more secular humanist society that can accept all peoples¿ differences and that works for the benefit of all is more preferable than a religious institution who commits itself to violence in order to assert its power at all costs.
