Leading Joyce scholar, Geert Lernout, argues that Joyce's work can
only be fully understood in the context of his unbelief. 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Joyce's published and unpublished writings reveals that throughout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.
