Some Christians claim to reject Tradition in preference to a supposedly "Bible only" Christianity. Catholics, on the other hand, venerate Tradition, yet often without adequately understanding it. In this masterful book, the great theologian Yves Congar explains why Tradition is an inescapable aspect of a fully biblical Christian faith. He explores the various forms of Tradition and discusses the relationship between Scripture and Tradition, as well as the role of the Magisterium of the Church. The Meaning of Tradition clears up misconceptions held by many Evangelical Christians and even some Catholics on this important subject. Congar's study of Tradition greatly contributed to the teaching of Vatican II and to a deeper appreciation of the Church Fathers.

Tradition is a central concern for a wide range of academic disciplines interested in problems of transmitting culture across generations. Yet, the concept itself has received remarkably little analysis. A substantial literature has grown up around the notion of 'invented tradition,' but no clear concept of tradition is to be found in these writings; since the very notion of 'invented tradition' presupposes a prior concept of tradition and is empty without one, this debunking usage has done as much to obscure the idea as to clarify it. In the absence of a shared concept, the various disciplines have created their own vocabularies to address the subject. Useful as they are, these specialized vocabularies (of which the best known include hybridity, canonicity, diaspora, paradigm, and contact zones) separate the disciplines and therefore necessarily create only a collection of parochial and disjointed approaches.Until now, there has been no concerted attempt to put the various disciplines in conversation with one another around the problem of tradition. Combining discussions of the idea of tradition by major scholars from a variety of disciplines with synoptic, synthesizing essays, Questions of Tradition will initiate a renewal of interest in this vital subject.

Signs of Change: Transformations of Christian Traditions and their Representation in the Arts, 1000-2000 focuses on the changing relationships between what gradually emerged as the Arts and Christianity, the latter term covering both a stream of ideas and its institutions. The book as a whole is addressed to a general academic audience concerned with issues of cultural history, while the individual essays are also intended as scholarly contributions within their own fields. A collaborative effort by twenty-five European and American scholars representing disciplines ranging from aesthetics to the history of art and architecture, from literature, music and the theatre to classics, church history, and theology, the volume is an interdisciplinary study of intermedial phenomena, generally in larger cultural and intellectual contexts. The focus of topics extends from single concrete objects to sets of abstract concepts and values, and from a single moment in time to an entire millennium. While Signs of Change acknowledges the importance of synthesizing efforts essential to hermeneutically informed scholarship, in order to counterbalance generalized historical narratives with detailed investigations, broad accounts are juxtaposed with specialized research projects. The deliberately unchronological grouping of contributions underlines the effort to further discussion about methodologies for writing cultural history.

La métamorphose est le motif principal des récits merveilleux. Elle constitue l’essence même du processus de transmission de tout conte par l’appropriation que chaque nouveau conteur réalise dans sa parole vivante. Celle-ci n’est pas simple répétition, mais toujours un échange dont le change est donné sous le couvert des mots mêmes: il en est ainsi de ce Petit Chaperon Rouge inaugural que Charles Perrault aurait conçu en dialoguant tacitement avec Jean de la Fontaine dans le contexte de l’oralité savante de l’Académie française.Ce volume tient compte de la mutation que représente, depuis les bords de la mer Baltique jusqu’à l’Afrique et jusqu’aux terres d’Outre-Atlantique, l’émergence d’une convivialité culturelle internationale présente ici dans la voix de quelques conteurs, qu’il s’agisse des porte-parole de pays anciennement colonisés ou d’autres, soumis, il n’y a pas si longtemps, au joug des occupants. Le conte est l’expression d’une sagesse immémoriale, la revendication de particularismes inaliénables, le moyen le plus sûr de forger ou de ressouder une unité nationale en quête d’une identité renouvelée.Le livre offre surtout un foisonnement théorique et un va-et-vient de la culture populaire à la culture savante dans le jeu des lectures critiques: historienne, psychanalytique, anthropologique, littéraire. Le conte, Protée exerçant son mirage aux mille facettes, est le miroir où les chercheurs, conteurs à leur manière, explorent une «onde pure» et, néanmoins, si troublante…
