Abstract

Even though the canonical Jesus' infancy stories have always provoked great interest in popular culture and in the arts, they have been neglected in research during the last decades due to the relatively late date of their redaction. Since the monograph by Raymond Brown, The Birth of the Messiah, the researchers working on this topic have not attempted to consider its historical impact. In this volume, an international team of scholars proposes firstly a reconsideration of the historical background of these stories in terms of early Jewish and Christian identity quests. Secondly, they deal with early Christian questions on Jesus' infancy and childhood through canonical and apocryphal Gospels including information from Patristic and documentary literature. On the theological level, this volume illustrates the impact that these apocryphal texts, recognized as "useful for the soul" (a phrase coined by Franc̜ois Bovon), have had on the Christian faith.

Abstract

A hundred years after A. Schweitzer's Von Reimarus zu Wrede , the study of the historical Jesus is again experiencing a renaissance. Ongoing since the beginning of the 1980's, this renaissance has produced an abundance of Jesus studies that also display a welcome diversity of methods, approaches and hypotheses. The Handbook of the Study of the Historical Jesus is designed to handle this diversity and abundance. Drawing from first-class scholarship throughout the world, the four large volumes of the Handbook offer a unique assembly of leading experts presenting their approaches to the historical Jesus, as well as a thought-out compilation of original studies on a large variety of topics pertaining to Jesus research and adjacent areas.

Abstract

Jésus est le personnage le plus connu de l’histoire universelle. Près d’un tiers de l’humanité, à des degrés divers, se réclame de lui, de son enseignement spirituel ou de son message éthique. La fascination du public - croyant ou incroyant - à son égard est telle que, chaque année, de nombreux livres lui sont consacrés. Mais, à côté de textes de catéchèse ou de théologie, ce sont souvent d’austères études s’adressant à des spécialistes. En quelques décennies, les progrès de la recherche ont été considérables, aussi bien en histoire, en archéologie qu’en exégèse biblique (manuscrits de la mer Morte, fouilles archéologiques en Israël, reliques de la Passion, etc.). On connaît infiniment mieux aujourd’hui l’enracinement historique et religieux de Jésus et son environnement palestinien. L’originalité du présent ouvrage, destiné à un large public, est d’intégrer ces données dispersées dans un récit biographique, clair, alerte et fluide, s’efforçant de reconstituer le plus exactement possible la vie et le caractère du « Jésus de l’Histoire ». Que sait-on de lui ? Comment était-il perçu par ses contemporains ? Un prophète, un réformateur juif, le Messie attendu par Israël ? Pour quelle raison a-t-il été exécuté ? Quelle responsabilité les occupants romains et les autorités officielles du Temple de Jérusalem ont-ils eue dans sa mort tragique ? Il s’agit donc ici de donner le point de vue de l’historien, rationnel, mais non rationaliste, qui, tout en s’appuyant sur des recherches scientifiques rigoureuses, reste ouvert sur le mystère de la foi chrétienne.

Abstract

This study interprets Jesus' parables and the sayings tradition regarding the Kingdom of God from a cognitive linguistic understanding of metaphor. It also shows what contribution the theory of metaphor can make when the parables and aphorisms are studied in research on the historical Jesus. The metaphoric nature and polyvalency of the parables and aphorisms of the Jesus tradition undermine their value for research on the historical Jesus. The author doubts whether the parables and sayings of the Jesus tradition can be employed to reconstruct the historical Jesus.

Abstract

"This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, express the confidence that modern secular audiences can engage with the masterpieces of Christian art at an emotional as well as a purely aesthetic or historical level. Their aim is to help the viewer understand these pictures by focusing attention on the purpose for which they were made, and exploring why they might have meant to their original viewers."--Jacket.

Abstract

Medieval historian G.G. Coulton relinquished his own holy orders in 1885 but remained firmly engaged with Christianity. This 1919 collection of lectures is a radical and impassioned discussion of how Christianity must change to meet the needs of post-war society as soldiers return from the trenches. Drawing parallels between the lives of Jesus Christ and St Francis of Assisi, Coulton highlights how ambiguities in the surviving accounts of both men have diverted the original course of their ministry and, with it, the objectives and outlook of the church. Included alongside the lectures is the author's comprehensive response to a number of questions raised by the original lecture series which provides a useful conclusion to the controversial anti-Catholic's plea for religious modernisation.
