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Joyce's published and unpublished writings reveals that throughout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. >
