Here a sentence from Jacobs’s article on Pynchon, The Far Invisible, in Hedgehog Review’s summer 2023 issue:
Whatever his [Pynchon’s] religious belief or unbelief, theological elements are central to his imagination, and over the course of his long career have assumed a distinctive shape that is worthy of our closest attention, above all because these elements so powerfully address American culture today: a culture that wants be thought spiritual but never religious, to use history as a weapon but never acknowledge it as an inheritance, to worship its own technologies while simultaneously lamenting their tyrannical power.
