L'Incarnation fascine la France et toute l'Europe de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle. Mystère du Verbe fait chair, de l'union du divin avec l'humain et de la venue de Dieu sur terre – selon la triple définition des théologiens de l'époque – mais aussi, plus simplement, récit rapporté par les évangiles de Matthieu et de Luc, elle se présente tout à la fois comme un sujet de réflexion théologique et de méditation morale, une vérité défendue contre les hérésies et une source de spiritualités nouvelles. Plus singulièrement, elle habite le roman comique qui se constitue comme genre, de la Première journée (1623) de Théophile de Viau et l'Histoire comique de Francion (1623) de Charles Sorel au Roman comique (1652/1657) de Paul Scarron et jusqu'aux États et empires de la Lune (1657) et du Soleil (1662) de Cyrano de Bergerac. Mise en roman, l'Incarnation y devient un para-dogme, c'est-à-dire un paradoxe au sens étymologique : non pas qu'elle s'oppose au dogme, mais bien plus qu'elle se place à côté, à distance, dans un espace différent, institutionnellement moins marqué, plus libre d'en exploiter le potentiel. Centrée sur une période particulièrement riche pour l'histoire du roman, de la théologie et des interactions entre l'un et l'autre, cette thèse propose au lecteur de suivre ce déplacement paradogmatique.

The doctrine of the Incarnation was wellspring and catalyst for theories of images verbal, material, and spiritual. Section I, “Representing the Mystery of the Incarnation”, takes up questions about the representability of the mystery. Section II, “Imago Dei and the Incarnate Word”, investigates how Christ’s status as the image of God was seen to license images material and spiritual. Section III, “Literary Figurations of the Incarnation”, considers the verbal production of images contemplating the divine and human nature of Christ. Section IV, “Tranformative Analogies of Matter and Spirit”, delves into ways that material properties and processes, in their effects on the beholder, were analogized to Christ’s hypostasis. Section V, “Visualizing the Flesh of Christ”, considers the relation between the Incarnation and the Passion.

"In this book, Guy Raffa offers a fresh reading of Dante's major literary works - the Divine Comedy and the Vita nuova - that combines central tenets of incarnational theology and dialectical thought to illuminate the poet's renowned ability to 'have it both ways' on issues that conventionally elicit an 'either/or' response. Viewing Dante as a poet of revision, not conversion, Raffa challenges a dominant paradigm in Dante criticism and takes full account of the poet's unconventional approach to such conventional dichotomies as eros and spirituality, fame and humility, action and contemplation, and obedience and transgression. Divine Dialectic ultimately argues that Dante crosses textual and theological boundaries in his medieval epic to promote the paradoxical union of contradiction and resolution as a way of reading his poem and, by extension, the world itself."--Jacket
