James Joyce's Pauline Vision: A Catholic Exposition

Not a study of Joyce’s thought or atti­tude but, rather, an attempt to pene­trate Joyce’s imagination, this extraor­dinary work complements previous studies of Joyce’s Catholicism. This is the most thorough and convincing demonstration yet of the ways Joyce absorbed Catholic thought and re­worked it, and it should go far to show that at least some familiarity with Catholic theology is necessary for a sophisticated appreciation of Joyce.
