Les dévotions chrétiennes ont longtemps été mal vues, suspectes de superstition et de subjectivité. Mais ces divers chemins dévotionnels sont justement des signes de la présence agissante de l'Esprit. Combien de chrétiens n'ont-ils pas été transformés par le récit d'une Apparition mariale ! Combien d'hommes et de femmes éprouvés n'ont-ils pu pardonner - et finalement revivre - que grâce à la dévotion de la Passion du Christ ! Cette richesse offre ainsi à chacun, suivant son environnement culturel, son état de vie, sa psychologie, de trouver son propre chemin évangélique, guidé par l'amour de l'Esprit Saint vers notre seul but : le Père par le Christ. S'appuyant sur de nombreux textes et prières de grands saints ainsi que sur des neuvaines ou des récits d'apparition, le père Boeglin s'attache ici à nous présenter les grandes formes existantes de dévotion - au Père, au Fils et à l'Esprit, à l'Église, à la Vierge Marie, à saint Joseph, aux saints, aux anges et aux âmes du Purgatoire - et à nous expliquer en quoi elles sont essentielles à notre vie chrétienne. L'auteur réussit ainsi à réunifier dans l'Esprit Saint la recherche théologique et la pratique dévotionnelle, l'intelligence et l'amour. Un maître livre pour nous aider à être intégralement chrétiens, avec la tête, le cœur et le corps

By clothing the Word with her flesh, the Virgin Mary made God visible, thereby licensing image-making. These case studies demonstrate how representations of Mary defined her role in the salvation of humanity and shaped early modern Christian beliefs and practices.

This reprint aims to investigate some of the numerous ways in which Christianity venerated and represented the Virgin Mary in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Fifteen researchers in various areas of the Arts and Humanities have brought together here their efforts to address in part this inexhaustible objective. The reprint is divided into two main parts. In one of them, composed of six chapters, we study some of the several ways in which the Christian faithful rendered worship and devotion to the Virgin Mary during the more than one thousand years under consideration. The other part, made up of seven chapters, analyzes various iconographic manifestations through which medieval and Renaissance Christians made their devotion to the mother of Christ visible in pictorial or sculptural forms. Therefore, this reprint will be very useful not only for specialists in Christian studies, especially in Marian themes but also for those interested in the development of the societies and cultures of medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Jennifer Lorden reveals the importance of deeply-felt religious devotion centuries before it is commonly said to arise. Her ground-breaking study establishes the hybrid poetics that embodied its form for medieval readers, while obscuring it from modern scholars. Working across the divide between Old and Middle English, she shows how conventions of earlier English poetry recombine with new literary conventions after the Norman Conquest. These new conventions-for example, love lyric repurposed as devotional song-created hybrid aesthetics more familiar to modern scholars. She argues that this aesthetic, as much as changing devotional practice, rendered later affective piety recognizable in a way that earlier affective devotional conventions were not. Forms of Devotion reconsiders the roots and branches of poetic topoi, revising commonplaces of literary and religious history.

"Assumptions concerning iconophobia in Islam has meant that scholarship has largely failed to situate figural artworks made for South Asia's Muslim audiences within Islamic intellectual and religious histories. Artworks explored in this book were made for people shaped by Muslim devotion and ritual. Central to this story are the royal Mughal siblings, Jahanara Begum and Dara Shikoh, and their spiritual guide Mulla Shah. Among other themes, the book contextualizes artworks made for the imperial siblings by placing them next to their writings, most of which an English reading audience will encounter for the first time"--

Loin de l’anthropocentrisme qui depuis quelques siècles règne en Occident, dans l’Inde ancienne la parole est tenue pour une force qui irrigue toutes les strates de l’être, de l’élémentaire au divin en passant par le végétal et l’animal. Au lieu de nous séparer du non-humain, elle devient alors ce qui nous y relie – tout en se reliant elle-même aux bruissements du monde non moins qu’à la musique. Dans cette perspective, le chanteur s’accorde aux oiseaux, le poète révèle les correspondances qui unissent l’infime au large, et le cœur de l’homme coïncide avec celui de l’univers.L’Inde vient par là nous rappeler qu’un cheminement spirituel peut prendre la forme d’une quête esthétique. Le dépassement de l’égocentrisme n’y passe plus par l’impératif de se rendre utile, mais par une joie devant la beauté qui, comme la vie, se donne pour rien.Nourrie par la pratique du yoga, du chant classique de l’Inde et des mantras, cette interrogation revient aux textes fondateurs de différents courants de pensée indiens, des Védas aux Tantras. Et elle les met en résonance avec certains mystiques et philosophes occidentaux, comme avec des thérapeutes de l’âme qui en appellent aussi à la puissance de la parole.

"Sanātana Gosvamin's Haribhaktivilasa (ca. 1540) describes the normative ritual life of a Vaisnava devotee. As it is one of the first Sanskrit texts of Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition begun by Sri Krsna Caitanya (1486-1533) it presents a fascinating meeting between this ecstatic new religious movement and older, Brahminical tradition. On the basis of eleven manuscripts, this important text has now been for the first time been critically edited. In his extensive introduction, Mans Broo engages with many of the questions that have vexed earlier scholars of this text (such as who really was the author?) by exploring its extensive intertextualities"--
