Abstract

In this groundbreaking work, Stephen Murray seizes a rare opportunity to explore the relationship between verbal and visual culture by presenting a sermon that may have been preached during the second half of the thirteenth century in or near the cathedral of Notre-Dame of Amiens, whose sculptural program was completed at about the same time. In addition to providing a complete transcription and translation of the text, Murray examines the historical context of the sermon and draws comparisons between its underlying structure and the Gothic portals of the cathedral. In the sermon, as in the cathedral, he finds a powerful motivational mechanism that invites the repentant sinner to enter into a new contract with the Virgin Mary. The correlation between elements of the sermon's text and the sculptural components of the cathedral leads to an exploration of the socioeconomic conditions in Picardy at the time and a vivid sketch of how the cathedral and its images were used by ordinary people. The author finds parallels in the rhetorical tools used in the sermon, on the one hand, and stylistic and compositional tools used in the sculpture, on the other. In addition to providing a fascinating and cogent consideration of medieval beliefs about salvation and redemption, this book also lays the groundwork for a long overdue examination of the performative and textual in relationship to sculpture.

Abstract

Animé par son amour pour la Vierge et nourri des paroles de Marthe Robin, le père Ravanel nous entraîne dans un véritable coeur à coeur avec Marie. Le père Ravanel nous invite à découvrir celle que Jésus nous a donné pour mère: son rôle spirituel, sa maternité envers l'humanité, sa présence dans l'histoire à travers ses apparitions, et notamment celles de Lourdes. S'écartant des sentiers battus, il développe des angles originaux tels que les rapports entre le surnaturel et la psychologie, et souligne tout particulièrement la pédagogie de la Vierge. Le père Ravanel nous dévoile également de nombreux textes inédits de Marthe Robin tirées de son journal. Des paroles riches d'enseignement qui révèlent à quel point Marie est présente et à l'oeuvre dans le monde. Tour à tour témoignage de foi, éclairage théologique et élan de prière, ce livre permet de prendre conscience et d'approfondir le mystère de celle que l'on peut appeler «notre mère».
