Contemporain de Kant, G. E. Lessing expose ses idées sous couvert de celles du théologien luthérien H. S. Reimarus. Leur démarche commune développe l'idée d'un christianisme raisonnable, religion naturelle, rationnelle et pratique : un déisme sans la divinité du Christ. Jésus a échoué à être reconnu comme le Roi des juifs ; ses disciples ont détourné son corps après son supplice ; l'examen des quatre évangélistes montre d'intenables contradictions... Une telle ""modération"" du fait religieux serait une assez bonne leçon pour le temps présent.

That readers and biblical texts are somehow linked in a mutually transformative relationship is hardly a novel perception, especially in contexts where the Christian Bible has been received as normative Scripture for faithful worship and living. This study focuses on an aspect of this relationship and wrestles with it not only in theory, but also in practice by asking: How may a reader who wishes to read the Christian Bible as Scripture well today be formed; and how may interpretations of Scripture themselves inform such concern? Vincent Ooi begins by showing that such concern is not only contemporary but integral to Christian traditions of reading Scripture, and that it is only recently receiving some renewed scholarly attention. He reviews some of these recent works before setting out his own approach from the perspective of theological interpretation of Scripture. He then demonstrates his approach via close exegetical engagement with three biblical texts, namely Nehemiah 9:6–37, Ezekiel 20:5–32, and Acts 7:2–60, which offer different inner-canonical readings of Scripture in the form of distinctive retellings of Israel’s story. He first considers how these texts portray readers of Scripture and use scriptural traditions in relation to the wider context of the Christian canon; he then discusses what they, individually and in concert, might suggest as significant for shaping readers seeking to faithfully appropriate Scripture today. The posture of prayer, the pulse of liturgy, and the patterning of Christ are among the things proposed as formatively significant.
