Abstract

This book offers an engaging study of the making of history of religions as an academic discipline in late 19th and early 20th century Europe. By studying the work of Alfred Loisy (1857-1940) - a French Catholic modernist priest and later professor of history of religions - and his interactions with contemporary scholars, it explores the maturation of the field and how it helped to define a new sense of identity in a rapdily secularizing society.

Abstract

"This volume examines the way the Belgian historian of religions Franz Cumont (1868–1947) and his contemporaries conceived of early Christianity's relation to the ancient mystery cults. As the comparative study of religion rose to academic prominence in late 19th century Europe, this question provoked fiery debates, fuelling methodological, ideological, and religious divides between scholars of different scientific and personal backgrounds. Cumont was a worldwide authority in the scientific study of the religions orientales, but he expressed his opinion on their relation to Christianity only ambiguously. Yet, his publications deeply impacted the debates of his time because of the numerous similarities they revealed between Christian and pagan traditions. Written by specialists from various academic disciplines (e.g., history of religions, theology, New Testament studies), this collection of papers offers a much-needed study of how Cumont and other leading 19th century scholars discussed this theme. It also offers critical reflections on what is left of their ideas in present-day research on this most fascinating subject matter in the study of ancient religion."--

Abstract

"This collection of essays aims to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to nineteenth and early twentieth century scholarship on Jesus and early Christianity, which illustrates the width and depth of the questions that critical reflections on the historical Jesus raised in and beyond the field of liberal theology. More precisely, it focuses on Jesus scholarship as practiced in various disciplines and fields that engaged with the academic study of religion. On the other hand, this volume aims for a comprehensive, multi-perspectivist historicization of this scholarship, considering the full range of religious, cultural, racial, political, and national dynamics that hosted the many controversies over the historical Jesus. Divided into five sections, the eleven essays in this book are organized according to guiding themes and a loose chronological structure. The first section revisits the roots of the Forschung in Liberal-Protestant Germany, and especially focuses on the maturation of historical-critical consciousness in the work of Reimarus (and his predecessors), Schleiermacher and Strauss. The second section is concerned with the rise of the "oriental Jesus" against the background of the making of the academic, non-theological study of religion as a scientific discipline. The third section explores how themes related to the historical Jesus and the rise of Christianity were treated among different academic disciplines from the early second half of the nineteenth century onwards. The fourth section explores how the historical Jesus was at the same time further explored by the biblical scholars and theologians who integrated new comparative methods in their research. The fifth section, finally, highlights the cultural-political appropriations that were made of scholarly writings on Jesus, which not rarely constituted the bricks with which radical political movements built their houses." --Provided by Publisher

Abstract

Ce volume réunit tous les articles de Franz Cumont (1868-1947) sur les fouilles de Doura-Europos : 49 textes en tout, avec plus de 90 photos et dessins. Nous publions ici, pour la première fois, le texte français que Cumont avait envoyé à son ami Mikhaïl Rostovtzeff, de l’université de Yale pour le “final report” sur le mithrée de Doura, un rapport qui ne fut jamais publié. Ce volume fait partie des Scripta Minora, sous-série de la Bibliotheca Cumontiana qui regroupe l’édition ou la réédition des œuvres choisies du fameux antiquisant et historien belge des religions. Il contient, en anglais, une introduction historiographique et critique par le spécialiste de l’histoire sociale et religieuse du Proche-Orient, Ted Kaizer, qui analyse la méthodologie utilisée par Cumont dans le contexte scientifique de son temps et l’importance des fouilles de Doura pour notre connaissance de la Syrie antique. En outre, cette introduction fournit une mise à jour bibliographique en signalant les publications les plus importantes qui complètent ou renouvellent le travail de Cumont. Le volume contient également un index thématique, ainsi qu’un index auteurs anciens et modernes.

Abstract

Riche de plus de 400 lettres, la correspondance bilatérale entre Franz Cumont et Alfred Loisy est un témoignage historique extraordinaire sur l'histoire intellectuelle de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Il apporte un éclairage inédit sur les enjeux et les débats, souvent brûlants, qui traversaient l'histoire ou la science des religions. Sur la crise du modernisme notamment, dont A. Loisy a été un protagoniste majeur, les échanges entre les deux savants et amis jettent une lumière vive et saisissante. Mais c'est également le contexte politique - en particulier la Première Guerre mondiale et son impact, ainsi que la montée des régimes totalitaires - qui retient l'attention, tant il est important pour comprendre les conditions de production et de circulation des savoirs. Bien plus qu'une toile de fond, les événements font émerger des questionnements nouveaux sur le rôle des religions dans le monde et dans l'histoire. Sur une période de trente-deux ans, de mai 1908 à mai 1940, la correspondance témoigne d'une érudition époustouflante, d'un humour mordant, de cours et de publications, de projets et de voyages, de polémiques et de récompenses, de rencontres et de pertes. Elle se déploie entre le Collège de France et de "Saint-Piège", en touchant aux cultes, mythes, images et textes, qu'inlassablement Cumont et Loisy questionnent avec une visée scientifique, en dépit des résistances et des conservatismes.
