This paper addresses how “Grace,” the penultimate story of the Dubliners stories, reveals itself to be corresponding to the paralysis of Dubliners in light of biblical theology and hermeneutics. Biblical theology shows Father Purdon`s preaching interpreted a Bible text in his own corrupted hermeneutics based on his theological misunderstanding of the concept of grace. An “appropriate” interpretation of the text, which this paper tries to provide, testifies that he is himself inflicted with spiritual paralysis. It reflects Joyce`s criticism that Dublin Catholicism is corrupted by worshipping both God and Mammon, which is castigated as a spiritual adultery. “Grace” proves Irish landscape of Catholicism rendered Dubliners trapped in the net of religion with no expectation of God`s grace.
