Abstract

Cent cinquante ans après les apparitions de la Vierge à Bernadette Soubirous, Lourdes rayonne toujours d'une façon extraordinaire. Pour tenter de comprendre cet étonnant succès, Dominique Chivot a demandé à trente personnalités quel regard elles portaient sur Lourdes. Il a interrogé des religieux et des laïcs, chrétiens ou non, des théologiens et des philosophes, des historiens et des sociologues, des hommes politiques et des artistes, des écrivains et des entrepreneurs, des militaires et des infirmiers... Leurs réponses forment un étonnant kaléidoscope, à l'image du sanctuaire cosmopolite et universel. Un certain esprit de Lourdes s'en dégage toutefois, fait de simplicité, de prière, de douceur, d'espérance, de courage, qui dessine un autre visage de l'humanité.

Abstract

En dépit de la grande popularité de saint François d'Assise, homme de paix, de dialogue et de charité, son expérience humaine et spirituelle paraît bien loin de notre époque. Et si pourtant l'Église et le monde de saint François étaient plus proches de notre temps que nous ne le croyons ? Car comme nous, François vit au c?ur d'une forte mutation culturelle, dans ce XIIIe siècle où explose le phénomène des villes, où la naissance d'une bourgeoisie assise sur le commerce et le développement des échanges ne sont pas sans rappeler la mondialisation actuelle. Et si François d'Assise avait raison, se demande Michel Hubaut ? À l'heure où l'Église paraît déstabilisée, fragilisée dans ses structures, n'est-il pas temps pour elle de repartir de la source, de la force de l'Évangile en s'appuyant sur de petites communautés de chrétiens plus fraternelles ?.

Abstract

What happened to the fervent Marian piety of the late Middle Ages during Germany's Reformation and Counter-Reformation? It has been widely assumed that Mary disappeared from Protestant devotional life and subsequently became a figurehead for the Catholic Church's campaign of religious reconquest. This book presents a more finely nuanced account of the Virgin's significance. In many Lutheran territories Marian liturgy and images - from magnificent altarpieces to simple paintings and prints - survived, though their meaning was transformed. In Catholic areas baroque art and piety flourished, but the militant Virgin associated with the Counter-Reformation did not always dominate religious devotion. Traditional manifestations of Marian veneration persisted, despite the post-Tridentine Church's attempts to dictate a uniform style of religious life. This book demonstrates that local context played a key role in shaping Marian piety, and explores the significance of this diversity of Marian practice for women's and men's experiences of religious change.

Abstract

En 1219, dans le cadre de la cinquième croisade, François d'Assise rend visite au sultan Malik al-Kâmil. Cette rencontre du christianisme et de l'islam n'a cessé depuis huit siècles de nourrir interprétations et représentations. Des discours hagiographiques à Benoît XVI en passant par Voltaire, des fresques de la basilique d'Assise aux gravures de Gustave Doré, l'événement a suscité une abondance de points de vue : geste de martyr ? mission de prédication aux infidèles ? acte d'audace naïf ? volonté de négocier une issue pacifique et, partant, modèle de dialogue pour l'Église d'aujourd'hui ? Autant de questions qui sont ici replacées dans leur contexte et soumises au crible du regard de l'historien.

Abstract

Just as twenty-first-century technologies like blogs and wikis have transformed the once private act of reading into a public enterprise, devotional reading experiences in the Middle Ages were dependent upon an oscillation between the solitary and the communal. In Reading in the Wilderness, Jessica Brantley uses tools from both literary criticism and art history to illuminate Additional MS 37049, an illustrated Carthusian miscellany housed in the British Library. This revealing artifact, Brantley argues, closes the gap between group spectatorship and private study in late medieval England. Drawing on the work of W. J. T. Mitchell, Michael Camille, and others working at the image-text crossroads, Reading in the Wilderness addresses the manuscript's texts and illustrations to examine connections between reading and performance within the solitary monk's cell and also outside. Brantley reimagines the medieval codex as a site where the meanings of images and words are performed, both publicly and privately, in the act of reading.

Abstract

What does the future hold for European Christianity? Is the Christian church doomed to collapse under the weight of globalization, Western secularism, and a flood of Muslim immigrants? Is Europe, in short, on the brink of becoming "Eurabia"? Though many pundits are loudly predicting just such a scenario, Philip Jenkins reveals the flaws in these arguments in God's Continent and offers a much more measured assessment of Europe's religious future. While frankly acknowledging current tensions, Jenkins shows, for instance, that the overheated rhetoric about a Muslim-dominated Europe is based on politically convenient myths: that Europe is being imperiled by floods of Muslim immigrants, exploding Muslim birth-rates, and the demise of European Christianity. He points out that by no means are Muslims the only new immigrants in Europe. Christians from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe are also pouring into the Western countries, and bringing with them a vibrant and enthusiastic faith that is helping to transform the face of European Christianity. Jenkins agrees that both Christianity and Islam face real difficulties in surviving within Europe's secular culture. But instead of fading away, both have adapted, and are adapting. Yes, the churches are in decline, but there are also clear indications that Christian loyalty and devotion survive, even as institutions crumble. Jenkins sees encouraging signs of continuing Christian devotion in Europe, especially in pilgrimages that attract millions--more in fact than in bygone "ages of faith." The third book in an acclaimed trilogy that includes The Next Christendom and The New Faces of Christianity, God's Continent offers a realistic and historically grounded appraisal of the future of Christianity in a rapidly changing Europe.
