In it, Piloiu argues that Roth's challenging, often contradictory and ambivalent literary output is the result of an attempt to recast moral, political, and historical realities of an empirically observable world in a new, religiously transfigured reality through the medium of literature. This diegetic recasting of phenomenological encounters with the real is an expression of Roth's belief that, since the self and the world are in a continuing state of crisis, issuing from their separation in modernity, a restoration of their unity is necessary to redeem the historical existence of individuals and communities alike. Piloiu notes, however, that Roth's enterprise in this is not unique to his work, but rather is shared by an entire generation of Central European Jewish intellectuals. This generation, disillusioned by modernity's excessive secularism, rationalism, and nationalism, sought a radical solution in the revival of mystical religious traditions--above all, in the Judaic idea of messianic redemption. Their use of the Chasidic notion of redemption was highly original in that it stripped the notion of its original theological meaning and applied it to the secular experience of reality. As a result, Roth's quest for redemption is a quest for salvation of the individual not outside, but within, history" --$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aComparative cultural studies. 606 $aRedemption in literature 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aEthnicity in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRedemption in literature. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 676 $a833/.912 700 $aPiloiu$b Rares G.$f1973-$0895165 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466878603321 996 $aThe quest for redemption$91999996 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01465nam 2200349Ia 450 001 996396178803316 005 20221108090827.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000056762 035 $a(EEBO)2240945283 035 $a(OCoLC)12234640 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000056762 100 $a19850705d1648 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 14$aThe way of Congregational churches cleared$b[electronic resource] $ein two treatises : in the former, from the historical aspersions of Mr. Robert Baylie, in his book called, A disswasive from the errors of the time, in the latter, from some contradictions of Vindicĉ Clavium, and from some mis-constructions of learned Mr. Rutherford, in his book intituled, The due right of presbyteries /$fby Mr. John Cotton .. 210 $aLondon $cPrinted by Matthew Simmons, for John Bellamie ...$d1648 215 $a[12], 104, 44 p 300 $aReproduction of original in Thomason Collection, British Library. 330 $aeebo-0158 606 $aCongregational churches$xDoctrines 606 $aCongregational churches$xGovernment 615 0$aCongregational churches$xDoctrines. 615 0$aCongregational churches$xGovernment. 700 $aCotton$b John$f1584-1652.$0793681 801 0$bEAA 801 1$bEAA 801 2$bm/c 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996396178803316 996 $aThe way of Congregational churches cleared$92310623 997 $aUNISA
