Premiers : les plus anciens de ces textes sont immédiatement postérieurs aux derniers écrits des apôtres (fin du ler siècle) ; les plus tardifs se situent à la frontière du Ile et du Ille siècle. Le corpus commence avec des hommes qui ont connu les apôtres : Clément de Rome fut proche de Pierre. Il prend fin avec les disciples de leurs disciples : Irénée de Lyon se réclame de Polycarpe de Smyrne, qui avait connu Jean. – Certains témoignages et quelques poèmes sont moins anciens. Écrits : les auteurs, «Pères de l'Église» pour la plupart, ne cherchent pas encore à bâtir une œuvre. Ils disent qui ils sont, comment ils vivent et meurent, ce qu'ils croient. Leurs textes adoptent les formes les plus variées : lettre, récit, traité, dialogue, discours judiciaire, poème... formes empruntées à la littérature de leur univers culturel, l'hellénisme, à moins qu'elles n'aient des parallèles dans la littérature juive, comme les actes de martyrs, dont l'Ancien Testament offre l'archétype. Pour exprimer les réalités nouvelles, les vieux mots changent de sens : baptizein, «immerger », devient «baptiser» ; ekklesia, «assemblée », signifie désormais «église». Chrétiens : la période est celle de l'autodéfinition du christianisme. Le terme apparaît autour de 117, chez Ignace d'Antioche. C'est le temps de la séparation, plus ou moins rapide et marquée selon les aires culturelles, d'avec le judaïsme. Se constituent peu à peu des usages liturgiques, des règles communautaires, un canon des Écritures, des doctrines qui formeront le dogme de l'Église «catholique», c'est-à-dire universelle. Naissance d'une religion, d'une Église, d'une littérature. À la fin du Ile siècle, sous l'œil des «païens» et des juifs (dont on présente aussi, en ouverture, les témoignages), l'Église est en passe d'unifier ses usages et d'installer ses institutions. Le christianisme a trouvé sa place dans la société. Il a propagé ses idées dans le monde intellectuel. De cette aventure, car c'en est une, les Premiers écrits chrétiens retracent les divers aspects, d'une manière extraordinairement vivante.

This volume deals with how Christians of the first centuries looked back on the period of the nascent Church. Thanks to the incomparable stature of its founder, Jesus Christ, who had descended from heaven and commissioned his Apostles, this period was authorative for all Christians in matters of doctrine, institutions, rites and morality, a new phenomenon in the Graeco-Roman world. Its implications are explored in sixteen essays dealing with various subjects such as liturgy, the canon of Scriptures, the role of miracles, art, monasticism, and ministry. All contributions, taking into account both the views of individual Church fathers and Gnostic and Manichaean texts, make a large amount of primary material available.

Twelve leading scholars have collaborated on this unique volume, bringing their biblical and patristic expertise together to show how the first followers of Jesus used their own canonical scriptures to address concerns central to life in the Roman Empire. Sacred Scripture and Secular Struggles offers an overview of how early Christians approached and appropriated biblical texts in addressing wider societal issues of imperial power, slavery, the use of wealth, suicide and other fundamental issues brought about by the convergence of empire and ecclesia.

Astutely reading the writings of early Christianity as part of the lively conversation of the Graeco-Roman world, Robert M. Grant helped reshape the study of the New Testament and early Christianity for scholars in the United States and Europe. Reading Religions in the Ancient World honors his work with sixteen essays by his colleagues and students, arranged under the headings of Classical Studies, New Testament Studies and Patristic Studies. These essays reflect and extend the research interests of the honoree; signal the breadth and depth of Professor Grant’s own scholarly interests and productivity; and contribute to each of these important aspects of religion in the ancient world.

This book investigates the concept of logos in pagan, Jewish and Christian thought, with a view to elucidating the polyphonic functions which the word acquired when used in theological discourse. Edwards presents a survey of theological applications of the term Logos in Greek, Jewish and Christian thought from Plato to Augustine and Proclus. Bringing together materials which are rarely synthesized in modern study, this book shows how Greek and biblical thought part company in their appraisal of the capacity of reason to grasp the nature of God, and how in consequence verbal revelation plays a
