Book excerpt: Abraham est le premier patriarche. Il lui est annoncé qu'il aura une descendance innombrable. Il n'empêche que sa femme est stérile. C'est d'Agar, servante de Sarah, qu'il aura un fils, Ismaël, le père des Arabes. Mais à l'intervention toute spéciale de Dieu, alors que lui a cent ans et que Sarah quatre-vingt-dix ans avait cessé d'avoir ce qu'ont les femmes, leur naît un fils, Isaac. Et voici qu'Abraham comprend que Dieu lui demande de sacrifier son fils. Aussitôt, il se lève de grand matin pour se rendre à Moryah, la montagne de Sion, lieu où sera construit le Temple. L'histoire d'Isaac, le deuxième patriarche, est dominée par ce que les chrétiens appellent le sacrifice d'Abraham alors que pour les juifs le sacrifice est celui d'Isaac, qui accepte d'être ligaturé sur l'autel jusqu'au moment ultime où l'Ange de Dieu arrêtera la main d'Abraham et lui désignera un bélier de substitution. En réalité, ce qui est demandé à Abraham est le sacrifice de sa volonté. Abraham renonce aux visées qu'il a sur son fils. JACOB. Le troisième patriarche est Jacob. Jacob vit entre deux nuits. La première, bien connue, évoque l'échelle dont le sommet est dans les cieux, qui montre la possibilité de contact entre le monde de Dieu et le monde des hommes. La deuxième est celle de sa lutte contre Dieu, où il acquiert le nom d'Israël. Il en sortira boiteux à vie. La fréquentation de Dieu ne confère pas la sauvegarde perpétuelle, mais elle ouvre à un autre monde au-delà du monde premier. JEAN-BAPTISTE. Autre chaînon entre le Premier et le Second Testament : Jean-Baptiste. Au milieu de tous les courants de pensée du judaïsme de l'époque. Jean s'ouvre à tous. Il ne réserve pas son message à un petit nombre de " purs ". Son but n'est pas de libérer le peuple des Romains, mais pour tous, de créer un large courant de conversion. Jean-Baptiste, contemporain de Jésus, s'inscrit dans la ligne d'Isaïe qui enseignait qu'il fallait " préparer les chemins du Seigneur ". Après l'exil, pour Jean-Baptiste c'est Dieu qui doit reconstruire son peuple. Pour l'évangéliste, c'est Jésus lui-même qui vient accomplir ce travail, en Messie. Jean-Baptiste va désigner le Messie comme étant Jésus. JUDA ET JUDAS. Juda, le quatrième fils de Jacob, est le père de la tribu qui sera celle de Jésus. Il vivra un terrible problème. En tant que fils d'Israël, il a pour obligation fondamentale de sauvegarder la possibilité de naître le Messie. Mais ses premiers fils étant morts l'un après l'autre sans enfants, Juda ne respecte plus la loi du lévirat quand il s'agit de risquer son dernier fils. Grâce à Tamar, cependant, il aura une descendance, celle là même qui préfigurera le tragique destin vécu par le disciple Judas, Judas l'Iscariote, c'est-à-dire le Sicaire (le poignard), le Zélote. PIERRE ET PAUL. Pierre et Paul, regardés comme les colonnes de l'Eglise, mettent en présence deux tendances antagonistes dès le début en des heurts à tonalités diverses, jusqu'à la fin du Ve siècle environ. La décision prise par Paul de ne pas imposer à son Eglise le rite de la circoncision a provoqué des remous dans la communauté de Jérusalem. Ceux-ci ont pu être résolus et le grave conflit en résultant a pu être résolus et le grave conflit en résultant a pu progressivement trouver apaisement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years, the rise of Qur'anic studies has been one of the most remarkable developments within the wider framework of Islamic scholarship. This evolution can be viewed from three angles: exponential growth in the accessibility of relevant primary; the use of contemporary methods for developing new analytical agendas; a renewed appreciation of diverse hermeneutical orientations. A veritable gold-rush of publications, theses, colloquia and study projects devoted to the Qur'an in the past two decades illustrates these developments. This scholarly community subsists primarily in European countries and the United States, but its effects are not limited there. The reception and dissemination of this work in Muslim-majority countries is constant and bodes as a promising opportunity to establish a real dialogue between scholars and lived community. The present book contains expert contributions emerging from this nexus, with scholars from North African, Middle Eastern and Western backgrounds who share a common ambition: to advance academic study of the Qurʾan by promoting cooperation across global boundaries.

Download or read book The Targums in the Light of Traditions of the Second Temple Period written by Thierry Legrand and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Jewish Targums were written down only from the second century CE onward, and need to be studied against their Late Antique background, the issue of their connection to earlier sources and traditions is an important one. Do the existing Targums link up with an oral translation of Scripture and, if so, how far does it go back? Do the Targums transmit traditional exegetical material in a distinct form? What is the relation between the Targums and "parabiblical" literature of the Second Temple period (including the New Testament)? In the present volume, these and other questions are studied and debated by an international group of scholars including some of the best specialists of Targumic literature in all its diversity, as well as specialists of various Second Temple writings.

Download or read book Jerome of Stridon written by Josef Lössl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles eighteen studies by internationally renowned scholars that epitomize the latest and best advances in research on the greatest polymath in Latin Christian antiquity, Jerome of Stridon (c.346-420) traditionally known as "Saint Jerome." It is divided into three sections which explore topics such as the underlying motivations behind Jerome's work as a hagiographer, letter-writer, theological controversialist, translator and exegete of the Bible, his linguistic competence in Greek, Hebrew, and Syriac, his relations to contemporary Jews and Judaism as well as to the Greek and Latin patristic traditions, and his reception in both the East and West in late antiquity down through the Protestant Reformation. Familiar debates are re-opened, hitherto uncharted terrain is explored, and problems old and new are posed and solved with the use of innovative methodologies. This monumental volume is an indispensable resource not only for specialists on Jerome but also for students and scholars who cultivate interests broadly in the history, religion, society, and literature of the late antique Christian world.

Book excerpt: Au-delà de l'imagerie populaire perpétuée par la crèche, y a-t-il un sens profond à la présence de deux animaux auprès de Jésus à Bethléem ? Sans doute, aucun des signes décrits par les évangélistes de la Nativité ou véhicules par la Tradition n'est-il gratuit. L'âne et le bœuf ont un sens biblique particulier, enraciné dans le Premier Testament et la Tradition. Loin des coutumes sentimentales, parfois bien vides, les bergers retrouvent une signification théologique, toujours actuelle. Et la démarche débouche ici sur la découverte du Midrash chrétien des mages, dépourvus de réalité historique. Tout, dans cette histoire construite par les premiers adhérents, concourt à manifester la foi dans la messianité de Jésus. Il est ce Roi des Juifs que des rois venus des nations, le monde des Gentils auxquels Paul portera la Bonne Nouvelle, reconnaissent et honorent de présents très symboliques.
Download or read book Farce and Farcical Elements written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farcical elements were incorporated into non-comic drama ever since the theatre had been rediscovered in the Middle Ages. Already at a very early stage, comic scenes proved to be popular additions to liturgical music drama and, later, to religious plays in the vernacular. Some scholars believe that the genre of farce developed out of these farcical elements. The suggestion was made that farces, similar to the stuffing of meat or poultry, had been added to plays to increase audience involvement. Other researchers see quite different origins for the farce. The present volume does not aspire to solve the question of the relationship between the two types of “comedy” on the medieval stages but its editors hope that it will nevertheless contribute to this discussion. In addition, it will enable its readers to form an impression of the huge variety of the comic in the vast area of medieval and early Renaissance theatre and drama.
Download or read book Jacques Chessex written by David J. Bond and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1994-12-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite an impressive body of poems, novels, short stories, and literary criticism; high praise for his writing by French and Swiss critics; and a collection of honours that includes the prestigious Prix Goncourt, awarded for his novel L’Ogre in 1973, Jacques Chessex is relatively unknown outside France and Switzerland. With this book, David J. Bond provides the first comprehensive study of his work in any language—a study that reveals Chessex’s deep ambivalence towards his Calvinist heritage and his efforts to resolve this dilemma through his texts. Born in 1934 in Payerne, in the region of French-speaking Switzerland known as the Vaud, Chessex grew up amid the pervasive influence of the Calvinist church. His writing, which tells of Vaud society and the hypocrisy of many of its leading members, reveals his preoccupation with a rigid morality, sin, remorse, and death. Bond shows that while Chessex uses his texts to escape this heritage and affirm alternative values, particularly sexual pleasure and enjoyment of life, his writing reveals a deep nostalgia for the stability and security of a strict religious system in a world that he finds unstable and even absurd without it. Chessex looks to the text as a univocal organizing principle that might impose order and sense. Bond sees in Chessex’s writing an attempt to find unity in opposing values, to establish contact with others, and to overcome an obsession with death and the passing of time.
Download or read book Christian Gaza In Late Antiquity written by Brouria Bitton Ashkelony and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable collection of thirteen studies provides an overview of recent research on central issues concerning the history of late antique Gaza. Several essays address various aspects of the continuity of pagan culture in Christian Gaza, festivals, spectacles, and the classical legacy of the fifth and sixth centuries, thus highlighting the public life of the city as a unique synthesis of the new and old worlds. Several articles deal with central topics pertaining to the monastic life developed in the region of Gaza and its vicinity between the fourth and seventh centuries. More specifically, they explore the rich Correspondence of Barsanuphius and John, the spiritual leaders of this monastic community. Two papers furnish an archeological survey of the monasteries of Gaza, and a discussion on the geographical and administrative aspects of its territory. Certain articles focus on the anti-Chalcedonian resistance of this monastic center in the wake of the council of Chalcedon, while others tackle the change of its stance in the time of Emperor Justin (518-527). In sum, this book covers a relatively neglected chapter in the complex and fascinating Christian history of the Holy Land.
