Résumé
--
'Man's vocation is inscribed in his flesh, fashioned in God's image,' writes Saint Irenaeus. For Donna Singles, a student in theology in Lyons, that statement came as a shock the day she heard Professor Maurice Jourjon pronounce it. Eighteen centuries lie between us yet the thoughts of Irenaeus, the first great theologian of the Church, remain so close to the sources of Christian faith that they are still able to speak to men and women of today through his joyful vision of the advent of Christ, his sense of development in life, his call upon us to participate in the unfinished symphony of the Creation... Donna Singles had come from the United States, her native land, to Lyons. And it was there in Lyons, the capital of the Gauls, that Irenaeus settled after leaving Smyrna, his native land (now Izmir in Turkey). Their similar faiths met across the centuries, spurring the energy and enthusiasm of that exceptional American woman. Combining passion, rigour and the fruit of her long studies of Irenaeus' work, she brings us a 'reading key' to enter into his language, that of those early centuries, to discover how clearly he can speak to us and enlighten our lives today. The chapters of the book correspond to the Articles of the Creed, symbol of the Apostles. Irenaeus' faith is explored on the occasion of each article, making for a particularly clear and accessible presentation.
