Pope reveals, however, that a dynamic shift in Lenz's faith had occurred four years before the debacle of Weimar. Coherent statements during those four years concerning the articles of his new faith, and a consistent application of faith to questions of poetry and dramatic theory, indicate that Lenz's contribution to the literary revolution of the 1770s was conditioned as much by a personal religious renewal as by enthusiasm for the aims and ideals of his generation. Theologically, Lenz's new convictions followed a path that led away from the neology of the late Enlightenment and pointed not only back to conservative traditions but also forward to the Christology of more modern times.RELIGION / Christian Theology / GeneralbisacshRELIGION / Christian Theology / General.849/.912Pope Timothy F(Timothy Fairfax),1947-1481629MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783799703321The holy fool3698695UNINA
