Résumé
--
"The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not the God of philosophers." Pascal's aphorism points to the duality of the alliance: one contracted by God with Israel, the other initiated with Noah. The former was specific it benefited from a word and a promise constantly renewed. The second was drained at the outset, with a guarantee of cosmic security and the prohibition of spilling blood. God remaining silent, no specific divine words being received, the door was left open to human, religious and philosophical quests for the divine. A thousand attempts were made. The path, drawn and redrawn since the beginning of time, is still frequented by the multitudes. The way initiated in Israel and developed by Jesus is very different: it is based on a contract that, during the frequent conflicts between partners, reveals the human being in all his ambiguity and God's patience and hesitations. Implicated in an eventful history, God seems to be "divided" about what to do: to take refuge in transcendence, or accept vulnerability. One biblical term expresses his acceptation of that contradiction: that of "servant". This definition is the key to a knowledge of God that breaks away from the multi-facetted religious and philosophical epic set in motion by the alliance with Noah. This adventure, without proclaimed divine support, opposes a counter-power to a specific revelation that tends toward the universal it prevents it from prematurely annexing the totality of the human domain and becoming frozen in unified thought.
