La culture chrétienne est constitutive de notre littérature comme la mythologie est constitutive de la littérature antique. Ce manuel en propose les rudiments, aujourd’hui méconnus, insistant sur les structures conceptuelles qui les sous-tendent. Cet accent mis sur le sens devrait permettre de retrouver l’état d’esprit des écrivains et de leurs publics, et, par suite, d’accéder à une meilleure perception des textes, aussi bien littéraires que philosophiques ou historiques. Ce manuel s’adresse prioritairement aux étudiants en lettres, à qui une partie pratique présente quelques exemples d’application simple des connaissances acquises à l’analyse de textes du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Mais il pourra rendre bien des services à ceux qui étudient l’histoire, la sociologie, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui sont concernés par l’histoire des idées. Nous espérons encore offrir aux professeurs soucieux d’enrichir ou de varier leur enseignement un moyen simple d’aborder ce point de vue essentiel, et à tout amateur cultivé, des clés pour mieux comprendre ses racines ainsi que des outils (bibliographie, index) qui le guideront dans l’approfondissement de ses connaissances.

Politics, Theology and History, first published in 2001, is a major book by a prominent academic and an active politician. It ranges widely across the disciplines of theology, political theory and philosophy and poses acute questions about the basic moral foundations of liberal societies. Lord Plant focuses on the role that religious belief can and ought to play in argument about public policy in a pluralistic society. He examines the potential political implications of Christian belief and the ways in which it may be deployed in political debate. The book discusses the place of religious belief in the formation of policy and asks what issues in modern society might be the legitimate objects of a Christian social and political concern. This important study of the relationship between religion and politics will be of value to students, academics, politicians, church professionals, policy makers and all concerned with the moral fabric of contemporary life.

The Christian doctrine of justification is of immense interest to historians and theologians, and continues to be of major importance in modern ecumenical discussions. The present work appeared in its first edition in 1986, and rapidly became the leading reference work on the subject. Its many acclaimed features include a detailed assessment of the semantic background of the concept in the ancient Near East, a thorough examination of the doctrine of the medieval period, and especially careful analysis of its development during the critical years of the sixteenth century. The third edition thoroughly updates the work, adding material where necessary, and responding to developments in scholarly literature. It will be an essential resource for all concerned with the development of Christian doctrine, the history of the Reformation debates on the identity of Christianity, and modern discussions between Protestants and Roman Catholics over the nature of salvation.

In this book, Scarfe Beckett is concerned with representations of the Islamic world prevalent in Anglo-Saxon England. Using a wide variety of literary, historical and archaeological evidence, she argues that the first perceptions of Arabs, Ismaelites and Saracens which derived from Christian exegesis preconditioned wester expressions of hostility and superiority towards peoples of the Islamic world, and that these received ideas prevailed even as material contacts increased between England and Muslim territory. Medieval texts invariably represented Muslim Arabs as Saracens and Ismaelites (or Hagarenes), described by Jerome as biblical enemies of the Christian world three centuries before Muhammad's lifetime. Two early ideas in particular - that Saracens worshipped Venus and dissembled their own identity - continued into the early modern period. This finding has interesting implications for earlier theses by Edward Said and Norman Daniel concerning the history of English perceptions of Islam.
