A Christian-allegorical reading of The Ambassadors?

Think about it - is there a possible allegorical reading of Henry James's The Ambassadors? You have first of all the great unseen and unknown God: in this case, Mrs. Newsome. Over the whole course of the novel (I'm not quite finished yet, but more than 3/4ths) we never see her, never read a word of hers in dialogue or letter, never see anyone respond to her directly - yet she is the force that has put everything in motion (I hesitate to say "into action") sending first one (Strether), then a 2nd (Sarah Pocock, her daughter) out to Paris as ambassadors. And what is their mission? To "save" Chad (her son) and bring him back to the U.S. to run the family business. In that sense, Strether is a Christ figure, sent into the world to save, or redeem, mankind and to forgive the sins of the world (the corrupt life of Europe, the adulturous relationship with Mme de Vionnet). But will Chad be saved? Can he? Should he be? There are many forces around him in conflict with Strether - notably, it seems increasingly clear, Waymarsh, who may be his rival in pursuit of Mme de Vionnet - is he a satanic figure after all? This reading does not account for all of the complex character relations, some of which I literally cannot keep straight - but it does seem clear that toward the end of the novel we seem hints of a comic-romantic conclusion: everyone finds his or her mate, even Little Bilham, whom Strether is trying to link up with the Pocock daughter, Mamie, and the hapless 15-year-old Jeanne de Vionnet, for whom Chad has arranged a despicable match with some count or other. Odd that the men, not the women, make the matches. The most allegorical element is the "fallen world" of Paris - Strether, and the other Americans, are captivated by the European way of life and engage in relationships and affairs - all hinted at, none portrayed directly - that would never be tolerated, in that they they would never tolerate, back in "Woolett," Connecticut.
