What’s with the zombie Lazarus? For the most part, the book is very spiritual and thought-provoking. Zombie Lazarus just seems sort of out of place, it’s very juvenile and inexplicable

We are having a thread on Kazantzakos.

I am finding contradictory information, was hoping one of you could clear this up.
I read Last Temptation Of Christ and really enjoyed it. But I wasn’t sure if Kazantzakos was an atheist, or if he was a believer with very heterodox views on God. So I looked it up, and I find different resources saying both.
I have a few questions:
1) was Kazantzakos an atheist, or did he believe in God?
2) why do I find resources saying different answers? Is it people being dumb and talking out of their ass, or did he evolve on this topic over time?
3) now that I have read Last Temptation Of Christ, what else should I read? Both other books by Kazantzakos, as well as books by different authors
