L’Institut Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin de Toulouse a organise en mai 2000 un colloque intitule Surnaturel. Une controverse au cœur du thomisme du XXe siecle. L’objet en etait le long et vif debat auquel l’ouvrage du futur Cardinal Henri de Lubac, Surnaturel. Etudes historiques, publie en 1946, avait donne lieu au cours de la deuxieme moitie du XXe siecle. Le theologien francais voulait remedier au dualisme dont, selon lui, la theologie catholique de son temps etait marquee du fait que sa structure generale etait determinee par l’opposition entre ordre naturel et ordre surnaturel. A cette fin il proposa de revaloriser le theme patristique (et thomiste) du desiderium naturale videndi Deum mis en question notamment par l’importance demesuree accordee a la theorie de la natura pura tenue pour une arme indispensable dans la defense de la gratuite de l’economie chretienne du salut. Mgr A.-M. Leonard reaffirma au colloque de Toulouse ce qu’il y appela «la necessite theologique du concept de nature pure». A. Vanneste conteste cette these. Ses recherches historiques l’ont amene a la conclusion que la notion de natura pura n’a ete introduite dans la theologie scolastique de la grâce que suite a une grave deviation dont Thomas d’Aquin est le principal responsable. Elle est un concept en soi denue de sens, nocif et a bannir du langage theologique.

The present study focuses on cultic imagery in the Corinthian correspondence as a test case to reconsider Paul’s relation to Judaism. Previous approaches of spiritualisation, substitution and direct comparison with Qumran Judaism do not stand up to scrutiny when they are applied to pre-70 Christianity, in particular to Paul. The rhetorical contexts of his statements about Judaism make it clear that Paul argued against a perverse understanding of a Jewish way of life rather than rejecting every sense of belonging to Jewish tradition. A survey of examples from Hellenistic-Jewish, Graeco-Roman, and Palestinian Jewish texts together with the exegesis of 1 Corinthians leads to the conclusion that Paul relied on Palestinian Jewish temple-theological traditions for some of his moral instructions. The apostle couched them in the language of Jewish cultic imagery, knowing that the Corinthian readers were familiar with Jewish traditions.

– The writings and sermons of the Cappadocian Fathers were deeply indebted to the inheritance of the classical rhetoric of the Second Sophistic. This contribution studies the use of this rhetoric in Gregory’s panegyrics on martyrs: the Homily on Theodore the Recruit, the First (Ia and Ib) and Second Homilies on the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste and the First and Second Homily on Stephen the Protomartyr. In particular, it focuses on how the literary style of these sermons – one element of rhetoric – supports the message the preacher wanted to convey to his audience. The primary purpose of these sermons was to extol and praise the martyr’s achievements and the Christian virtues to which he or she bore testimony, thus presenting him as a spiritual model worthy of imitation. Subsidiary goals were the polemic against other religions or Christian currents considered as heterodox as well as moral exhortations to the audience. This meaning was not only generated by the content of the sermons but also by the application of stylistic features that underline the presence of these themes in Gregory’s martyrial homilies. From this perspective, we study Gregory’s use of hyperbole, comparisons, periphrastic turns, paratactic and antithetic parallellisms, fictitious monologues and dialogues, and ecphrasis. We give ample illustrations of the presence of each feature in our chosen sermons and in each case we address the question: how did this particular stylistic feature generate meaning and how did it serve the homilist’s purposes?

This article does not deal with the question whether it would be preferable to make a lexicon of Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion respectively (i.e. of each reviser separately) or one that integrates the vocabulary of The Three into one and the same lexicon, or whether the lexicon should constitute an independent work or a Supplement to already existing LXX lexicons. The questions dealt with here are preliminary to any lexicographic work on the hexaplaric material. There are a number of methodological remarks that one simply avoid once the decision to compile a lexicon of Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion has been taken. For such a lexicon of The Three to be fruitful, it will have to overcome some serious obstacles from the very beginning. First, the data to be incorporated in the lexicon will have to be collected from different sources. Second, the sources used will be, at their best, but a few fragments consisting of a couple of sentences and, in most cases, just single words. The article also considers the implications of the lack of context for The Three and analyses the purposes or motives of Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion for making their translation of the Hebrew OT, attempting to determine the extent to which this influences the work of lexicography.

La presente etude examine les principaux reproches que Nietzsche adresse au christianisme et en degage les rapports. A travers eux, il discerne le pourquoi profond de l’antichristianisme nietzscheen. Pour des motifs differents, Nietzsche rejette aussi bien l’attitude de Jesus, dont il recuse le renoncement a la lutte, que le christianisme historique, tout impregne, selon lui, de rancune. Dans son optique, le «christianisme» de Jesus et celui de l’Eglise, malgre leur contraste, renvoient a une racine commune: ils exprimeraient l’un et l’autre – le premier sous la forme de la passivite et le second sous celle de la reactivite du ressentiment (visible dans l’exaltation de ce qui est vil, la culpabilisation du «pecheur» et l’ideal ascetique du pretre) –, la negation du vouloir-vivre. L’article ne se borne pas a la description de la position nietzscheenne, mais fournit aussi quelques pistes critiques.
