Abstract

The studies collected in this volume are the outcome of papers presented at the workshop “David in Cultural Memory,” held at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University Budapest, 9-10 October, 2013. The person of king David of biblical history have long ago been the object of persistent scholarly interest. The present volume aims at offering an assemblage of the diversified memories constructed about David in various collections and communities. Narratives in the Deuteronomistic historiography reflect Ancient Near Eastern social and legal customs, and are added by literary topoi bearing specific meaning, customary motifs of royal biographies. Persian period Chronicles offer a substantially different picture of David. The Psalms’ religious poetry memorized him as an author and example, while prophetic literature and its exegesis refer to him in messianic terms. David is one of the rare figures of biblical history remembered also in visual memory, in the synagogue of Dura Europos.

Abstract

Abraham, whom the apostle Paul calls the "father of us all" (Rom 4:16), was a central figure in Judaism from the outset and came to be important in Christianity and Islam. The contributions to this volume discuss the presentation and reception of Abraham's family in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The topics cover Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Second Temple writings, New Testament, Rabbinic literature, Greek, Latin and Syriac church fathers, as well as Jewish medieval interpretation and a twelfth-century Arabic travel report of a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Abstract

"This book is a work of medieval history and the history of gender and sexuality. It looks at the biblical King David, who has multiple paradigmatic identities in the Middle Ages: king, military leader, adulterous lover, sinner. It views David primarily from the perspective of medieval European Christian society but also from the medieval European Jewish viewpoint"

Abstract

La paternité et la filiation sont au cœur du débat contemporain. Mais que dit la Bible ? Qu'entre David et Salomon, comme entre Jésus et l'Éternel, tout engendrement est d'abord affaire de reconnaissance mutuelle : le spirituel supplante le biologique. 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 le 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 annonçant l'avènement d'un Fils en qui tous sont sauvés, le Christ. Derrière une histoire de famille peu catholique –; Jacob épouse Rachel et sa soeur, 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.
