It tackles the complex set of ideas expressed by Italian writers about the biblical narration of human origins and traditional religious language and ritual, the perceived clash between the immanent and transcendent nature and role of the Church, and the problematic notion of sanctity emerging from contemporary narrative UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110497830 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110497830 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110497830/original ER -
