Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. “Catholicisme ondoyant”: Catholic Intellectual Engagement and the Crisis of Civilization in the 1930s -- 2. Paul Valéry and French Catholicism: Recognizing the Context of Renewal -- 3. A Strange Christian: Simone Weil -- 4. Jean Grenier and the “Spirit of Orthodoxy” -- 5. Charles Du Bos’s Catholicism and His Politics of Sincerity in Interwar France -- 6. From Mystique to Théologique: Messiaen’s “ordre nuveau,” 1935– 39 -- 7. Rethinking the Modernity of Bernanos: A Girardian Perspective -- 8. “Into the Catacombs of the Past”: Women and War time Trauma in the French Catholic Ressourcement Project (1939– 45) -- 9.

Summary: Gathering in one place a cohesive selection of articles that deepen our sense of the vitality and controversy within the Catholic renewal of the mid-twentieth century, God’s Mirror offers historical analysis of French Catholic intellectuals. This volume highlights the work of writers, thinkers and creative artists who have not always drawn the attention given to such luminaries as Maritain, Mounier, and Marcel.Organized around the typologies of renewal and engagement, editors Katherine Davies and Toby Garfitt provide a revisionist and interdisciplinary reading of the narrative of twentieth-century French Catholicism. Renewal and engagement are both manifestations of how the Catholic intellectual reflects and takes position on the relationship between the Church, personal faith and the world, and on the increasingly problematic relationship between intellectuals and the Magisterium. A majority of the writings are based on extensive research into published texts, with some occasional archival references, and they give critical insights into the tensions that characterized the theological and political concerns of their subjects.
