This volume directs attention to the teaching of Jesus; it introduces the question of how the imagination has to work in order to retrieve the teaching of Jesus and apply it to actual life in our day. Teachers and preachers are engaged in this work all the time, but upon examination it involves a process that bears reflection. We live in a world that is so different from the world in which Jesus taught that many ask about its practicability relative to our complex everyday lives. The volume turns to three authors who work at this, have thought through present-day theory of interpretation, and respond to basic questions that explain the adjustments that allow us to apply Jesus' teaching to our dilemmas with interpretation that remain faithful to the content that he proposed. Sandra Schneiders turns to modern hermeneutics, the theory of interpretation, and explains what is going on in the human mind that allows us to say that present-day interpretation, while different from Jesus because our "worlds" are different, corresponds to what Jesus communicated in the past relative to his world. William Spohn pushes the same idea further to concrete examples of how analogy, sameness and difference together, both binds the imagination to Jesus and frees us to see new relevance for Jesus' actual teaching. And Lisa Sowle Cahill takes the spirit of the other two into the social order to show how Jesus' teaching has a real relevance for the highly complex societies in which we live today. The logics of these three authors offer models for what is going on in all of the Past Light on Present Life volumes as they represent different historical periods and distinct themes in Western Christian spirituality.

This monograph represents a rare, classical-philosophical approach to culture. It is grounded in philosophical realism and emphasizes personalism as a true achievement of philosophical anthropology. Employing the apparatus of the history of philosophy, science and religion, the author demonstrates the immense scope of the drama unfolding within human culture. In a classical approach, evaluation is inevitable—with regard to various theories of culture, human culture as such, and all its main actors. Jaroszyński’s work shows that realistic study of what it means to be a human person leads to the most comprehensive understanding of culture as it is and should be.

Le livre Jésus est la transcriptiion d’une conférence donnée par Robert Joly en 1985. Elle n’avait jamais fait l’objet d’une publication jusqu’ici. Malgré le grand nombre de ses publications, Robert Joly n’avait pas mis par écrit les conclusions de ses recherches sur Jésus. A travers les textes du Ier siècle de notre ère, il traite ici de l’historicité de Jésus - comme être humain- de ce qu’on peut savoir de son message et des majorations successives apportées par ses disciples. Le texte édité n’est pas écrit dans le moule d’une publication académique. Il repose sur les normes scientifiques les plus rigoureuses tout en ayant l’avantage d’être un documents clair et lisible pour le grand public. Robert Joly (1922-2011) est un philologue spécialisé dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Il a été professeur à l’Université de Mons et à l’Université libre de Bruxelles. Au sein de cette dernière il a enseigné à l’Institut d’histoire du christianisme, dont il sera le directeur pendant quelques années, la littérature des Pères grecs de l’Eglise et le Nouveau Testament. Son ouvrage Dieu vous interpelle? Moi il m’évite…Les raisons de l’incroyance , publié en 2000, est le classique de l’athéisme en langue française. Un exposé de l’œuvre de Robert Joly, rédigé par Patrice Dartevelle, est présenté en postface à son texte sur Jésus.
