Abstract

"Berceau des trois monothéismes, terre de conflits confessionnels et d'obsessions identitaires, le Moyen-Orient tend à déchaîner les passions, quand il ne suscite pas la résignation devant la répétition du malheur. Pour désamorcer une telle charge symbolique, Jean-Pierre Filiu adopte une démarche résolument laïque, éclairant d'un jour nouveau un millénaire et demi d'histoire de la région, à partir de la fondation, en 395, de l'Empire romain d'Orient. Son approche citoyenne et érudite invalide les amalgames contemporains qui ne font que projeter sur la réalité moyen-orientale les propagandes de guerre des uns et des autres. Elle éclaire le cynisme avec lequel dictateurs et jihadistes défigurent le passé pour légitimer leur barbarie. Une telle histoire devient alors bien plus riche et fascinante que les caricatures dans l'air du temps. Ce livre, qui fera date, offre la première synthèse sur une aussi longue durée de l'histoire de ce "milieu des mondes", carrefour de trois continents. Il s'appuie sur un solide appareil didactique, avec vingt cartes, dix chronologies et deux index. Il vise ainsi à rendre directement accessibles l'héritage et les enjeux du Moyen-Orient. Il se conclut par une analyse de la place et des ambitions de la France dans cette région. Car cette histoire est également la nôtre, aujourd'hui peut-être plus que jamais."

Abstract

This text presents Freud's theory that man is unable to tolerate too much reality, and that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man which are smuggled into awareness during sleep. The analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the vital secrets of the unconscious mind.

Abstract

In this innovative study, Joshua D. Garroway offers a revised account of the origin of the all-important Christian word “gospel,” yielding significant new insights into the development of early Christian history and literature. Long thought to have originated on the lips of Jesus or his disciples, “gospel” was in fact coined by Paul midway through his career to describe his controversial new interpretation of Jesus’ death and resurrection. For nearly a decade after the crucifixion, the thoroughly Jewish Jesus movement demanded circumcision and Law observance from Gentile converts. Only in the early 40s did Paul arrive at the belief that such observance was no longer necessary, an insight he dubbed “the gospel,” or good news. The remainder of Paul’s career featured clashes with authorities over the legitimacy of the gospel, debates that continued after his death in the writings of Mark, Matthew, and Luke-Acts. These writings obscured the original context of the gospel, however, and in time the word lost its specific association with Paul and his scandalous notion of salvation outside the Law. .
