God, language and community

The article is a review of a book "Szczęśliwe winy teolingwizmu. Poezja polska po roku 1968 w perspektywie postsekularnej". The theoretical basis for this work derives from the contemporary postsecular thought, and the leading concepts are language, divinity, and community. Witold Wirpsza, Tymoteusz Karpowicz, Krystyna Miłobędzka, Stanisław Barańczak, Tadeusz Różewicz, Bogdan Zadura, Eugeniusz TkaczyszynDycki, Justyna Bargielska and Joanna Mueller constitute the core of the linguistic theology and theological poetics as described by Piotr Bogalecki, in which the spiritual is inextricably linked with the linguistic. The review stresses the special role of Wirpsza and Karpowicz for Bogalecki’s conception of the study, as well as some diffi culties with placing Różewicz and Tkaczyszyn-Dycki within the theolinguistic trend, which, however, do not aff ect the high theoretical and interpretative quality of this excellent study.
