{"product_id":"geert-lernout-help-my-unbelief-9781441131089","title":"Help My Unbelief","description":"From the very beginning James Joyce's readers have considered him as a Catholic or an anti-Catholic writer, and in recent years the tendency has been to recuperate him for an alternative and decidedly liberal form of Catholicism. However, a careful study of Joyce's published and unpublished writings reveals that throughout his career as a writer he rejected the church in which he had grown up. As a result, Geert Lernout argues that it is misleading to divorce his work from that particular context, which was so important to his decision to become a writer in the first place. Arguing that Joyce's unbelief is critical for a fuller understanding of his work, Lernout takes his title from Ulysses, \"I believe, O Lord, help my unbelief. That is, help me to believe or help me to unbelieve?\", itself a quote from Mark 9: 24. This incisive study will be of interest to all readers of Joyce and to anyone interested in the relationship between religion and literature.","brand":"Continnuum-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53714407981398,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781441131089_1.jpg?v=1778875132","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/geert-lernout-help-my-unbelief-9781441131089","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
