Abstract

Il y a bien longtemps que l'on ne croit plus que la Bible ait pu "tomber du ciel". Toutefois, le caractère sacré que lui confèrent des millions de croyants fait que beaucoup hésitent encore à admettre qu'elle puisse faire l'objet d'études critiques. Cependant, entre la sacralisation inconditionnelle et le rejet méprisant, il existe une troisième voie, celle d'une lecture "profane" permettant non pas de conduire les lecteurs au coeur de la Bible, mais de leur en faire connaître les contours et l'histoire. D'où vient ce monument de notre culture ? Par quels détours est-il parvenu jusqu'à nous ? Comment se fait-il que, sous un même titre, on trouve des volumes organisés de différentes manières, et des textes qui présentent bien des divergences ? Pierre Monat, professeur de lettres classiques, spécialiste de la Bible, répond à toutes ces questions avec clarté. Un passionnant essai d'histoire "ordonnée" qui s'adresse aux lecteurs soucieux d'authenticité ; aux esprits curieux de l'histoire de la pensée et des littératures ; aux férus d'histoire sainte, enfin, qui veulent aller au-delà de la seule pensée religieuse.

Abstract

Human trauma gave birth to the Bible, suggests eminent religious scholar David Carr. The Bible's ability to speak to suffering is a major reason why the sacred texts of Judaism and Christianity have retained their relevance for thousands of years. In his fascinating and provocative reinterpretation of the Bible's origins, the author tells the story of how the Jewish people and Christian community had to adapt to survive multiple catastrophes and how their holy scriptures both reflected and reinforced each religion's resilient nature.   Carr's thought-provoking analysis demonstrates how many of the central tenets of biblical religion, including monotheism and the idea of suffering as God's retribution, are factors that provided Judaism and Christianity with the strength and flexibility to endure in the face of disaster. In addition, the author explains how the Jewish Bible was deeply shaped by the Jewish exile in Babylon, an event that it rarely describes, and how the Christian Bible was likewise shaped by the unspeakable shame of having a crucified savior.

Abstract

"This volume examines the development and use of the Bible from late Antiquity to the Reformation, tracing both its geographical and its intellectual journeys from its homelands throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and into northern Europe. Richard Marsden and Ann Matter's volume provides a balanced treatment of eastern and western biblical traditions, highlighting processes of transmission and modes of exegesis among Roman and Orthodox Christians, Jews and Muslims and illuminating the role of the Bible in medieval inter-religious dialogue. Translations into Ethiopic, Slavic, Armenian and Georgian vernaculars, as well as Romance and Germanic, are treated in detail, along with the theme of allegorized spirituality and established forms of glossing. The chapters take the study of Bible history beyond the cloisters of medieval monasteries and ecclesiastical schools to consider the influence of biblical texts on vernacular poetry, prose, drama, law and the visual arts of East and West"--
