Abstract

How did Christianity make its remarkable voyage from the Roman Mediterranean to the Indian subcontinent? By examining the social networks that connected the ancient and late antique Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, central Asia, and Iran, this book contemplates the social relations that made such movement possible. It also analyzes how the narrative tradition regarding the apostle Judas Thomas, which originated in Upper Mesopotamia and accredited him with evangelizing India, traveled among the social networks of an interconnected late antique world. In this way, the book probes how the Thomas narrative shaped Mediterranean Christian beliefs regarding co-religionists in central Asia and India, impacted local Christian cultures, took shape in a variety of languages, and experienced transformation as it traveled from the Mediterranean to India, and back again.

Abstract

Les Actes apocryphes de Thomas, qui racontent l’activité missionnaire et le martyre de l’apôtre en Inde, figurent au nombre des cinq grands Actes apostoliques anciens, avec ceux de Jean, de Pierre, d’André et de Paul. Connus par une version syriaque et une version grecque, ainsi que par des formes dérivées en latin et dans plusieurs langues orientales, les Actes de Thomas sont les seuls à nous être parvenus en entier. Même s’ils appartiennent au genre du récit romanesque et se rapprochent à ce titre des romans de l’Antiquité gréco-latine, les Actes de Thomas intègrent des éléments que l’on ne retrouve guère dans cette littérature : des prières, des épiclèses ou invocations baptismales et eucharistiques, des discours où l’apôtre propose un message caractérisé par un idéal de renoncement sexuel, des descriptions de rites baptismaux et eucharistiques, et des hymnes, dont le plus fameux est sans contredit l’«Hymne de Judas Thomas l’apôtre, quand il était au pays des Indiens », mieux connu sous le titre d’«Hymne de la Perle» ou d’«Hymne de l’âme». Transmis en syriaque et en grec, par un seul manuscrit dans chacun des cas, et par une paraphrase byzantine, l’Hymne de la Perle se présente sous la forme d’un récit qui raconte l’épopée d’un jeune prince oriental envoyé en Égypte pour en rapporter une perle, précieuse et unique, gardée par un serpent. On a volontiers vu dans ce poème, dont la composition est antérieure à celle des Actes de Thomas, une évocation de la destinée de l’âme, d’origine céleste, en exil dans le corps et la matière. Une lecture plus attentive de l’hymne permet cependant de le situer dans un contexte historique et doctrinal précis, celui de la réappropriation des Actes de Thomas par les manichéens, qui ont vu dans l’hymne une évocation poétique saisissante de la vocation et de la destinée de Mani. Cet ouvrage propose une édition, une traduction française et une synopse des trois versions de l’Hymne de la Perle, précédées d’une introduction et suivies d’un commentaire.

Abstract

This is the second edition of a book published as long ago as 1962. The at that time relatively young Dr. A.F.J. Klijn was brought up in the school of W.C. van Unnik and G. Quispel, both in Utrecht. In his book about the Acts of Thomas he tried to demonstrate that this work cannot be reckoned among the Gnostic writings but belongs to the early Syriac or rather Eastern Christian tradition. In the last decades much has been written about Syriac Christianity, which made it necessary to rewrite the original introduction of this book. The commentary has mainly been left as it was, although many additions have been made to its great number of valuable references.

Abstract

Contient les textes des cinq récits d'initiation chrétienne selon les Actes de Thomas en syriaque et en grec suivis de leur traduction française.0L'une des plus anciennes oeuvres chrétiennes apocryphes, les Actes de l'apôtre Judas Thomas, est célèbre. Elle met en scène l'apostolat et le martyre de Thomas au pays des rois Goudnaphar et Mazdaï, alors identifié avec l'Inde. Sujet de nombreux débats historiques, elle est aussi considérée pour sa qualité littéraire et la beauté de ses hymnes et prières. Mais sa doctrine promeut la sainteté et l'ascèse en repoussant le mariage.0Comment comprendre ce christianisme syrien du début du IIIe siècle ?0L'ouvrage de Jiphy Francis Mekkattukulam renouvelle profondément la compréhension de son intérêt historique. Il montre que la structure même des Actes de Thomas, organisés en cinq récits, est le reflet de pratiques liturgiques liées au don du ± sceau ? que les personnages demandent à recevoir.0Il prouve que la structure liturgique est cohérente et remonte aux tout débuts de la liturgie de l'initiation chrétienne procédant en trois étapes unifiées : l'onction d'huile, le baptême dans l'eau et l'eucharistie. Les Actes de Thomas sont ainsi un véritable document historique sur les origines de l'initiation chrétienne. J. F. Mekkattukulam en offre la reconstitution du rituel, dans ses gestes et ses paroles.

Abstract

Are the Thomas references in the Gospel of John, the Thomas compositions, and the early Thomas traditions in northwestern and southern India purely legendary as biblical scholars have assumed or do they preserve unexamined historical traditions intermittently as the Thomas Christians in India have believed? Didymus Judas Thomas is one of the most misunderstood characters from the beginning of the New Testament history and interpretation. In this study, Thomaskutty addresses the following questions: whether Thomas was merely a `doubting Thomas' or a `genuine Thomas'? Can we understand Thomas comprehensively by bringing the New Testament, apocrypha, and historical traditions together? How was Thomas connected to eastern Christianity and how does the Thomas literature support/not support this connectivity? Can we understand the Thomas traditions related to Judea, Syria, and India with the help of canonical, extra canonical, and traditio-historical documents? Thomaskutty investigates the development of the Thomas literature right from the beginning, examining and questioning the approaches and methodologies that have been employed in interpreting these documents, and analyzes the Thomas literature closely in order to understand the character, his mission involvements, and the possible implications this may have for understanding early Christianity in the east.

Abstract

"This book is the first modern collection of studies on the reception of the apostles and their companions in Late Antiquity, earlier Middle Ages and the Orthodox Churches. The volume opens with an exploration of the nature of the stories about the apostles in Late Antiquity, highlighting some of the questions and problems these stories tried to answer. Chapter 2 takes us to the Forum Romanum and the Apostle Peter, and the latter's antagonist Simon Magus appears again in the next chapter. The next five chapters focus on Paul and Thecla. The first two look at the relationship between the canonical Acts of the Apostles and the Acts of Paul by concentrating on spatial aspects as well as sex and intermarriage, respectively. Three chapters concentrate on Thecla and show that the Acts of Paul and Thecla and Thecla herself enjoyed a very high reputation, were seen as authoritative - if not canonical in certain circles - and a source of inspiration for later hagiographers. We see the apostle John at work in the fairly unfamiliar Acts of John by Prochorus and the Acts of Timothy, but also his connection with the church S. Giovanni a Porta Latina in Rome. The section on Thomas takes up the textual tradition of the Acts of Thomas with new manuscripts, and the reception of the Acts in the hagiography and liturgy of the Orthodox Churches. The last two chapters focus on Philip, whose Acts Acts shows that in fourth-century Hierapolis local paganism was still a factor to be taken into account and to be fought, but also that the treatise promoted ideals of civility and self-control, which were not that far removed from those in the Gospels. As has become usual, the volume ends with a detailed index."
