Histoire des origines du christianisme; Tome 8

Rédigé en hébreu quelque deux siècles avant Jésus-Christ, le Cohélet – ou l’Ecclésiaste – a toujours fasciné philosophes, théologiens et poètes. Nombre de ses aphorismes sont passés dans le langage commun : « Un temps pour tout », « Rien de nouveau sous le soleil », « Vanité des vanités »... Inscrit dans l’Ancien Testament, l’Ecclésiaste demeure un texte énigmatique dont le caractère religieux n’est pas évident. Ernest Renan en propose une des plus belles traductions qu’il fait suivre d’une étude sur l’âge et le caractère du livre.

Histoire des origines du christianisme...

This book treats of the History of the Christianity and the Apostles.

The first book of our 'History of the Origins of Christianity' brought us down to the death and burial of Jesus; and we must now resume the subject at the point where we left it-that is to say, on Saturday, the fourth of April, in the year 33. The work will be for some time yet a sort of continuation of the life of Jesus. Next to the glad months, during which the great Founder laid the bases of a new order of things for humanity, these few succeeding years were the most decisive in the history of the world. It is still Jesus, who, by the holy fire kindled in the hearts of a few friends from the spark He himself has placed there, creates institutions of the highest originality, stirs and transforms souls, and impresses on everything His divine seal. It shall be ours to show how, under this influence, always active and victorious over death, the doctrines of faith in the resurrection, in the influence of the Holy Spirit, in the gift of tongues, and in the power of the Church, became firmly established. We shall describe the organization of the Church of Jerusalem, its first trials, and its first triumphs, and the earliest missions to which it gave birth. We shall follow Christianity in its rapid progress through Syria as far as Antioch, where it established a second capital in some respects more important than Jerusalem, and destined, even, to supplant the latter. In this new centre, where converted heathen were in the majority, we shall see Christianity separate itself definitively from Judaism, and receive a name of its own; and we shall note, above all, the birth of the grand idea of distant missions destined to carry the name of Jesus throughout the Gentile world. We shall pause at the solemn moment when Paul, Barnabas, and Mark depart to carry this great design into execution; and then, interrupting for a while our narrative, we shall cast a glance at the world which these brave missionaries sought to convert. We shall endeavor to give an account of the intellectual, political, moral, religious, and social condition of the Roman Empire at about the year 45, the probable date of the departure of St. Paul on his first mission.

Such is the scope of this second book which we have called The Apostles, because it is devoted to that period of common action, during which the little family created by Jesus acted in concert and was grouped morally around a single point-Jerusalem...

The Apostles - History of the Christianity

Jesus est-il un homme comme les autres ?" Dans cet ouvrage d'une qualite rare, Ernest Renan contribue de maniere fondamentale a la decouverte positive de la vie de Jesus, du contexte historique de son epoque et apporte notamment une connaissance approfondie de la Palestine. Souvent qualifie comme un chef d' uvre de la litterature romantique, la vie de Jesus est aussi une etude historique qui nous invite a plonger dans un temps lointain, des m urs etranges a nos yeux d'europeens modernes, des coutumes evidemment differentes des notres, une Palestine a redecouvrir, des histoires, des situations, un contexte, une epoque, une Vie: celle de Jesus.

La Vie de Jesus

Ernest Renan - (1823-1892), French philosopher and theologian.Joseph Ernest Renan was given a scholarship in 1838 by F A. Dupanloup to join the seminary of St.-Nicholas-du-Chardonnet at Paris. Through the study of German theology, historical criticism, and Semitic languages he came to doubt the truth of Christianity These doubts led him in 1845 to leave the seminary of St. Sulpice.His most notable writing was La Vie de Jesus (Life of Jesus), which appeared in 1863. Using the results of biblical criticism, he portrayed Jesus as a gifted itinerant preacher, but he was not the Son of God. Immediately Renan set about to enlarge the book, and the result was his Histoire de Origines du Christiansme (History of the Origins of Christianity; seven volumes 1863-1881). This major work embraced the early expansion of Christianity under the apostle Paul throughout the ancient world. Subsequently Renan penned a parallel work bearing the title Histoire du Peuple d'Israel (History of the People of Israel; five volumes).Throughout his career, Renan made frequent forays to the Near East, where he participated in archaeological digs. He was called to the chair of Hebrew at the College de France in 1862, but he was summarily removed after the publication of his Life of Jesus. In 1870 he was reinstated to the post, and under the secularist Third Republic the skeptic Renan was elevated to be director of the college in 1879.
