St Martin of Tours is one of Christianity?s major saints and his signi?cance reaches far beyond the powerful radiance of his iconic act of charity. While the saint and his cult have been researched comprehensively in Germany and France, his cult in the British Isles proves to be fairly unexplored. Andre Mertens closes this gap for Anglo-Saxon England by editing all the age?s surviving texts on the saint, including a commentary and translations. Moreover, Mertens looks beyond the horizon of the surviving body of literary relics and dedicates an introductory study to an analysis of the saint?s cult in Anglo-Saxon England and his signi?cance for Anglo-Saxon culture.

The book brings to light a little-known story: the arrival in Italy of thousands of Moriscos exiles, descendants of Arab-Muslim origin, settled for centuries in the Iberian peninsula, baptized following the Christian Reconquista (1492), often accused of crypto-Islamism and betrayal of the homeland, eventually expelled and deported from Spain (1609-1614). What are the obstacles encountered by refugees along the journey of their exodus? What is the behavior of the authorities with respect to the landings? And in what terms have the refugees interacted with the local populations? These are current questions to ancient problems that Italy, in its political fragmentation, has already experienced.

A preeminent scholar explores the evolution of the Christian worldview and argues that it no longer offers a satisfactory vision for our democratic, multicultural society This book is the culmination of a lifelong scholarly inquiry into Christian history, religion as a social institution, and the role of myth in the history of religions. Mack shows that religions are essentially mythological and that Christianity in particular has been an ever-changing mythological engine of social formation, from Roman times to its distinct American expression in our time. The author traces the cultural influence of the Christian myth that has persisted for sixteen hundred years but now should be much less consequential in our social and cultural life, since it runs counter to our democratic ideals. We stand at a critical impasse: badly splintered by conflicting groups pursuing their own social interests, a binding common myth needs to be established by renewing a truly cohesive national and international story rooted in our democratic and egalitarian origins, committed to freedom, equality, and vital human values.

Comment expliquer que tant d’humains, en ce début de 21e siècle, accordent encore foi aux discours des religions, que ce soit une religion chrétienne, musulmane ou juive ? Possèdent-elles des vérités plus assurées que celles des sciences humaines ou maintiennent-elles leurs fidèles dans l’ignorance, de peur que ceux-ci ne quittent le bateau amiral des églises, des mosquées ou des synagogues ? Que proposent-elles de si séduisant pour que l’on sente le besoin de suivre aveuglément leurs enseignements et que des croyants soient prêts à mourir ou à occire pour elles ? « Au moment où le créationnisme devient de plus en plus présent dans le cursus académique et où le programme Éthique et culture religieuse, enseigné à nos jeunes dans nos écoles, fait l’apologie du religieux et banalise la superstition, ce livre de Marcel Sylvestre a de quoi nous faire réfléchir sur l’importance à accorder à la raison. » - Extrait de la préface de Louise Mailloux
