It was far from inevitable that Rome would emerge as the spiritual center of Western Christianity in the early Middle Ages. After the move of the Empire's capital to Constantinople in the fourth century and the Gothic Wars in the sixth century, Rome was gradually depleted physically, economically, and politically. How then, asks Maya Maskarinec, did this exhausted city, with limited Christian presence, transform over the course of the sixth through ninth centuries into a seemingly inexhaustible reservoir of sanctity? Conventional narratives explain the rise of Christian Rome as resulting from an increasingly powerful papacy. In 'City of Saints', Maskarinec looks outward, to examine how Rome interacted with the wider Mediterranean world in the Byzantine period. During the early Middle Ages, the city imported dozens of saints and their legends, naturalized them, and physically layered their cults onto the city's imperial and sacred topography. Maskarinec documents Rome's spectacular physical transformation, drawing on church architecture, frescoes, mosaics, inscriptions, Greek and Latin hagiographical texts, and less-studied documents that attest to the commemoration of these foreign saints. These sources reveal a vibrant plurality of voices--Byzantine administrators, refugees, aristocrats, monks, pilgrims, and others--who shaped a distinctly Roman version of Christianity.

L'enseignement social de l'Eglise étant une partie intégrante du message évangélique il ne peut se laisser efficacement transmettre que si, à l'instar de la Parole de Dieu, il ne perd pas de vue ses destinataires qui sont des personnes concrètes, ayant leur rationalité culturelle propre. Or l'on constate qu'en Afrique noire le message social chrétien continue d'être proclamé sur base des concepts empruntés à une philosophie étrangère à la vision du monde des destinataires. En effet, les notions fondamentales telles que les concepts de personne, de nature, de liberté, de propriété, etc. demeurent sans grande pertinence pour le monde africain subsaharien. Ces questions se situent au coeur de la préoccupation de cet ouvrage. Il s'agit plus particulièrement de considérer le concept de la vie comme principe autour duquel pivote toute l'éthique africaine, sans chercher à recourir à la loi naturelle classique comme fondement. La vie au sens africain a une dimension fondamentalement relationnelle et elle est tridimensionnelle, embrassant le monde visible et invisible, à savoir, celui des vivants, des morts et des non-encore-nés qui, ensemble, forment une communauté intégrale. Dans cette communauté il y a une interaction de vie entre les membres, l'action de l'un fait grandir tous les autres et vice versa. On parle ainsi d'un engendrement et d'un enfantement mutuels. La présente étude plaide pour que dans l'enseignement social de l'Eglise en Afrique subsaharienne toutes les questions tiennent compte de cette rationalité et soient discutées dans le cadre de la vision et de la religiosité africaines.
