Préhistoire de la foi chrétienne
Jean Lartigolle - Collection Bible de jerusalem
Résumé
--
The appearance of the Christian faith, two thousand years ago, represents a singularly strange event in universal history. All the peoples of the earth lived under the awning of pantheons, reigned over by a frolicsome society of gods and goddesses. But one people formed an exception: they only had one God, Yahveh. How did these two powerful religious entities open up a space between them for a religion that would make a humble Israelite, Jesus of Nazareth, the very image of divinity? To answer that question, is it enough simply to read the Gospels? Their writing was not the cause but the consequence of that primordial surge of faith. The milieu that served as a direct matrix was that of Judaism. During the paschal apparitions, only the reference to the 'Scriptures' allows the Apostles to approach the secret identity of Christ. There speaks a God who, though jealously protecting his transcendence, proclaims a human vocation and invites himself into the society of His people to reveal a life project. By travelling back to the very origins of that faith, one is surprised to discover presages that have often been left in the shadows: the Bible also keeps the memory of the religiosity that preceded even polytheism. In animism, the numina only existed in a state of physical incarnation. This being so, the analogy between the primordial emergence of religious signification - 'the pagan old testament' in the words of Paul Ricoeur - and the specificity of the Christian faith demands that we also bear in mind the traces of such a sequence. By heeding these antecedents until now ignored or deemed dangerous, this book proposes an approach to the Christian event that follows the very path by which that event arrived.
