Jacob's Night

Jacob's Night: The Religious Renascence in France is a book by Wallace Fowlie that explores the resurgence of religious fervor in France during the mid-twentieth century. Fowlie examines the works of several influential French writers and thinkers, including Simone Weil, Georges Bernanos, and Charles P�����guy, who sought to revitalize Catholicism in France after the devastation of World War II. Through their writings, these figures sought to create a new vision of Catholicism that emphasized social justice and the importance of community. Fowlie also explores the impact of the Second Vatican Council on the Catholic Church in France, and how it contributed to the religious revival of the time. Jacob's Night provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the religious and cultural landscape of post-war France, and the role that religion played in shaping it.Four Essays On Peguy, Rouault, Maritain And Myths Of Modern Poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
