Abstract

Premier Père de l’Église latin d’Afrique, Tertullien (160-220) a marqué de son empreinte le christianisme de l’Occident. Cependant, si son influence sur des auteurs comme Jérôme ou Isidore de Séville a souvent été soulignée, peu d’études ont été consacrées au rôle théologique, spirituel et littéraire que son œuvre volumineuse a joué dans le développement de la pensée et de la langue des écrivains chrétiens d’Afrique durant l’Antiquité tardive. Pourtant, ce rôle est assez bien documenté, comme l’attestent les témoignages, certes parfois contradictoires, de grands écrivains chrétiens africains comme Cyprien, Lactance ou Augustin. Aussi nous semblait-il nécessaire de nous interroger à nouveaux frais sur l’influence de Tertullien sur la littérature chrétienne d’Afrique du Nord (IIe-VIe siècles), à travers une étude tant des formes littéraires, des contenus dogmatiques, que des contextes ecclésiologiques de sa réception. Au final, les travaux de cette journée d’étude, organisée dans le cadre du programme de recherche du G.R.A.A., « Tradition, évolution et mutation des formes littéraires en Afrique romaine », offrent quelques éclaircissements à la question fondamentale de la construction, réelle, imaginaire ou fantasmée, d’une « africanité » de la littérature chrétienne d’Afrique du Nord.

Abstract

Was Tertullian of Carthage a schismatic? How did he view the Church and its bishops? How did he understand the exercise of authority within the Church? In this study David Rankin sets the writings of Tertullian in the context of the early third-century Church and the developments it was undergoing in relation to both its structures and its self-understanding. He then discusses Tertullian's own theology of the Church, his imagery and his perception of Church office and ministry. Tertullian maintained throughout his career a high view of the Church, and this in part constituted the motivation for his vitriolic attacks on the Church's hierarchy after he had joined the New Prophecy movement. His contribution to the development of the Church has often been misunderstood, and this thorough exploration provides a reassessment of its nature and importance.

Abstract

Who was Tertullian, and what can we know about him? This work explores his social identities, focusing on his North African milieu. Theories from the discipline of social/cultural anthropology, including kinship, class and ethnicity, are accommodated and applied to selections of Tertullian's writings. In light of postcolonial concerns, this study utilizes the categories of Roman colonizers, indigenous Africans and new elites. The third category, new elites, is actually intended to destabilize the other two, denying any "essential" Roman or African identity. Thereafter, samples from Tertullian's writings serve to illustrate comparisons of his own identities and the identities of his rhetorical opponents. The overall study finds Tertullian's identities to be manifold, complex and discursive. Additionally, his writings are understood to reflect antagonism toward Romans, including Christian Romans (which is significant for his so-called Montanism), and Romanized Africans. While Tertullian accommodates much from Graeco-Roman literature, laws and customs, he nevertheless retains a strongly stated non-Roman-ness and an African-ity, which is highlighted in the present monograph.
