Otwórz się. Kilka refleksji o literaturze i chrześcijaństwie
Open! Some Refl ections on Literature and Christianity

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of Christianity as seen in most recent Polish literature. The author distinguishes two main intellectual and artistic standpoints. The first one manifests a strong belief in the power of the literary word, a conviction close to supplanting the belief in the existence of a transcendent point of reference. The second standpoint in turn is characterized by an unbelief in the salutary power of the literary word or in its self-reliance. The latter stance results in adopting specific religious attitudes by writers such as Przemysław Dakowicz, Marta Kwaśnicka, and Justyna Bargielska, who express disappointment in the secularism of the modern times.
