Recent studies on the development of early Christianity emphasize the fragmentation of the late ancient world while paying less attention to a distinctive feature of the Christianity of this time which is its inter-connectivity. Both local and trans-regional networks of interaction contributed to the expansion of Christianity in this age of fragmentation. This volume investigates a specific aspect of this inter-connectivity in the area of the Mediterranean by focusing on the formation and operation of episcopal networks. The rise of the bishop as a major figure of authority resulted in an increase in long-distance communication among church elites coming from different geographical areas and belonging to distinct ecclesiastical and theological traditions. Locally, the bishops in their roles as teachers, defenders of faith, patrons etc. were expected to interact with individuals of diverse social background who formed their congregations and with secular authorities. Consequently, this volume explores the nature and quality of various types of episcopal relationships in Late Antiquity attempting to understand how they were established, cultivated and put to use across cultural, linguistic, social and geographical boundaries.

"Jewish and early Christian authors discussed Abraham in diverse ways, adapting his Old Testament narratives and using Abrahamic imagery in their works. Beginning with a perspective on how Abraham was used within Jewish literature, this collection of essays follow the impact of Abraham across biblical texts, including Pseudigraphic and Apocryphal texts, into early Greek, Latin and Gnostic literature. While some areas of study in Abrahamic texts have received much scholarly attention, other areas remain nearly untouched. The essays build upon the existing scholarship in the area and add to it by discussing Abraham in less-discussed areas such as Abraham in re-written Scripture and contemporary Greek and Latin authors. Through the presentation of a more thorough outline of the impact of the figure and stories of Abraham, the contributors create a more concise and complete idea of how his narrative was employed throughout the centuries, and how ancient authors adopted and adapted received traditions"--

Dans cette étude biblique tourbillonnante d'érudition, le frère Albert-Marie Crignon aborde un thème d'une extraordinaire contemporanéité : la filiation. "Qui es-tu, mon fils?", c'est en effet la troublante question que pose Isaac à Jacob, en la prenant pour Ésaü. Ainsi, à travers cette véritable enquête d'un passage fameux de la Genèse (l'histoire de Jacob et de sa famille), c'est tous les rapports de père à fils dans la Bible qui sont décryptés. Sans jamais s'éloigner du sens littéral, l'auteur, en bon exégète, donne vie à ces si beaux récits de l'Ancien Testament, qui sont lus comme des prophéties annonc̦ant l'avènement d'un Fils en qui tous sont sauvés, le Christ. Derrière une histoire de famille peu catholique--Jacob épouse Rachel et sa sœur, et il est également le père des enfants de leurs servantes--, c'est notre condition de fils et de fille, et notre rapport au Père des Cieux, que nous sommes invités à interroger. Et à réinvestir.
