Résumé
--
No amount of anguish or suffering authorises us to see death as a mere passageway. On the contrary, a believer, just like any other man, must bear its overwhelming weight. And Christ, from Gethsemane to Golgotha, undergoes that same inescapable ordeal. Crossing the straits of our own finitude from one bank to the other, in the role of guide, he places the burden in the hands of the Father when the wound gapes within his mortal flesh. In dialogue with contemporary philosophy (Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Camus, Lévinas...) the Christic experience of Gethsemane reminds us - here, in theological terms and with Christ as an emblem of man - of Heidegger's simple affirmation, so often forgotten when we speak of the Son of Man, which states that 'as soon as man is born (in Bethlehem?) he is old enough to die (at Golgotha?)'. Nevertheless it would be wrong - or at least incomplete - to claim, as Heidegger does, that the Christian does not really feel the anguish of death (and the absurdity of suffering even less), having already perceived it in the interpretation of life. This is the subject of this book. Contrary to what the many psycho-interpretations of Gethsemane tell us, and on the basis of the Gospel seen in the light of contemporary philosophical research (existentialism and phenomenology), the lesson we learn from the Son - from his very body in the unique term of 'word made flesh' - is what it is to be a man, when man suffers in his flesh from no longer hearing God's voice.
