    This work shows that the collapse of the post-reformation confessional state was more the result of religious dissent from within, much of it orthodox, than attacks of an anti-religious Enlightenment.

  • - A Catholic Approach to Literature
    von Nicholas Boyle
    33,00 - 136,00 €

  • - Reflections on Religion and Literature
    von Denis Donoghue
    46,00 - 132,00 €

    W. B. Yeats's poem "e;Adam's Curse"e; provides Donoghue with motif and incentive. In Genesis God says to Adam: "e;Because thou hast harkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life."e; Yeats put it this way: "e;It is certain there is no fine thing / Since Adam's curse but needs much labouring."e; Based on a conversation he had with his beloved Maud Gonne and her sister Kathleen, Yeats's poem thinks about how difficult it is to be beautiful, to write great poetry, to love. In his Erasmus Lectures, Donoghue thinks about the lasting difficulties involved in understanding, and living with, cultural, literary, and religious values that are in restless relation to one another. On these and related matters, Donoghue enters into conversation with a variety of writers, some of them-John Crowe Ransom, Hans Urs von Balthasar, William Lynch, Alasdair MacIntyre, Emmanuel Levinas, Andrew Delbanco, and Robert Bellah-signaled by the titles of the seven lectures. Into the thematic space suggested by each of these titles Donoghue invites other writers and sages to join the conversation-Henry Adams, William Empson, John Milbank, Czeslaw Milosz, Seamus Heaney, Gabriel Josipovici, and many more. The "e;talk,"e; as you might expect, keeps coming around to the reading of specific literary texts: passages from Paradise Lost, Stevens's "e;Esthetique du mal,"e; fiction by Gide and J. F. Powers and J. M. Coetzee, to name only a few. In Adan's Curse, Donoghue brings his special intelligence to bear on some of the intersections where religion and literature provocatively meet.

  • - Dialogues and Essays on Tolerance and Tradition
    von Adam Seligman
    30,00 - 105,00 €

    Many current political issues revolve around issues of religion and tolerance, which are usually countered using the doctrines of liberal humanistic virtue. As these doctrines fail to resonate in communities that hold more traditional religious definitions of self and society, this text introduces a new set of arguments on tolerance and tradition.

    von Jon H. Roberts
    55,00 - 167,00 €

    This title provides a comprehensive analytical overview of public dialogue among 19th century American Protestant intellectuals who struggled with the theory of organic evolution. Arguments over the scientific merits of Darwin's theory gave way to discussions of its theological implications.

    von John T. Noonan
