This collection features a range of essays exploring the intersections of Romanticism, religion, and cultural identity. Contributors delve into themes such as the evolution of transcendence perception, the emergence of Romantic religion from Enlightenment thought, and the role of collectors in shaping the Old Testament narrative. The writings examine metaphorical operations within Romantic religion and the Catholic self-discovery process during the Munich Romantic period. Early Romantic literature is analyzed for its relationship with Christian tradition, while the search for religious experiences is highlighted through the works of Wackenroder, Novalis, and Hoffmann. The anthology also addresses the representation of Judaism and Catholicism in Wilhelm Hauff's work and examines figures like Isaac Ber Levinsohn in the context of Haskalah and Kabbalah. The translation of the Hebrew Bible by David Friedländer is discussed as a means of finding the pure spirit of biblical poetry, which serves as a foundation for a new Romantic religion. Additionally, the influence of Hinduism and Catholicism in German and English Romanticism is explored, alongside the discovery of Sufism as an emotional counterpart in August Tholuck's thought. Finally, the role of poetry, art, and music in the teachings of Andrzej Towianski is considered, emphasizing their significance in the divine discourse.
