Quasi universellement, Jésus de Nazareth est reconnu comme personnage historique. Comme tel, il est soumis aux sciences historiques et doit en souffrir, en pâtir, toutes les tortures. C'est le sens que retient le titre donné à ce recueil consacré à la recherche du Jésus de l'histoire: Passible des historiens: Jésus de Nazareth. Recherche d'historiens qui entendent s'en tenir, concernant Jésus, à ce que leurs seuls outils permettent d'en connaître. Ce qui implique une plongée dans tous les documents qui parlent de Jésus, l'histoire se faisant à partir de documents. Plongée dans les évangiles canoniques, singulièrement, mais également dans tous les textes anciens qui parlent de Jésus, bien que non retenus dans le canon chrétien des Écritures. Sources littéraires donc. Mais qui sont nées dans un contexte particulier, principalement celui de la Galilée du premier siècle. D'où l'importance, spécialement, de ce que l'archéologie permet de dire de la situation sociale de la Galilée de Jésus, au début du premier siècle. En un sens, les études de cet ouvrage appartiennent donc aux querelles infligées à la mémoire et à l'histoire de Jésus. Elles reflètent les débats de plus de quarante années de recherche autour du Jésus historique; débats, si l'on veut, de la troisième quête, amorcée au début des années 1980, et dont elles présentent, en somme, une certaine histoire.

Au commencement du XVII- siecle, une autre direction pour l'accomplissement du projet ontologique non identifiable a celle d'une science mathematique de la nature se profile et prefigure une recurrence persistante des origines de la philosophie. Ainsi, on trouve dans le systeme suarezien la retranscription originale et reactualisee d'une ligne de force traversant la pensee antique: l'ontopolitique. Il devient alors necessaire afin d'expliciter et de justifier cette orientation, de determiner a la fois le fondement et la specificite de la relation instauree par Suarez entre l'ontologie, la theologie, l'anthropologie et le politique; ces domaines demeurent indissociables d'une crise et d'un renouveau de la philosophie premiere s'enoncant comme accomplissement ethique de la raison metaphysique. Cet ouvrage se propose d'examiner chez Suarez (1548-1617), comment la theorie du droit et de la loi prolonge la pensee de l'etant elaboree par la metaphysique en une comprehension ontologique du politique. Il s'agit precisement de mener a son terme, dans un systeme unifie du savoir, la determination de l'etant en procedant a son extension a la question de l'etre de l'homme et de l'etre-en-commun propre a la societe politique.

Cet ouvrage est au croisement de deux disciplines: l'histoire et l'exegese. En matiere d'exegese, il entreprend de suivre a la trace les interpretations qui ont ete donnees a la parabole des ouvriers de la onzieme heure (Mt 20,1-16) tout au long du 16e siecle. Pour permettre une comparaison adequate des differentes interpretations, a ete mise au point une grille de lecture (inspiree de T. Todorov et de P. Ricoeur), dans laquelle sont reprises de maniere systematique toutes les operations que peut impliquer l'interpretation d'un texte. On y trouve en particulier les dispositifs formels de l'interpretation (langue, plan, langage methodologique...); les operations elaborant le sens direct ou litteral du texte (mise en oeuvre des codes lexicaux, narratifs, historiques, litteraires...); et les operations elaborant son sens indirect ou symbolique (mise en oeuvre des symbolismes lexical et propositionnel, des contextes paradigmatique et syntagmatique, de l'intertextualite, de la reappropriation du lecteur, du monde du texte...). L'application de cette methode aux differents commentaires permet de voir les operations que chacun favorise et comment il fait parler le texte biblique en lui donnant sens. Cela nous interpelle par rapport a notre propre construction du sens, dans l'exegese actuelle. En matiere historique, j'analyse d'abord la publication du texte de Mt 20,1-16 dans ses differentes editions (textes grecs, syriaques et latins) et ses multiples traductions (en latin, allemand, neerlandais, francais, italien, espagnol...). Des tableaux des variantes textuelles permettent de suivre l'evolution des traductions et de reperer leurs choix methodologiques. On decouvre ensuite les grands commentateurs du debut du 16e siecle: Erasme et Lefevre d'Etaples, tetes de file d'une exegese centree sur les codes lexicaux; Luther et Melanchthon, tetes de file d'une exegese basee sur le but du texte, dans laquelle brillent Bucer, Cajetan, Zwingli, Valdes, Bullinger. Puis on voit apparaitre une generation d'auteurs pratiquant des ponts entre les ecoles (Musculus, Titelman, Estienne) ou relancant l'ecole humaniste (Calvin, Beze) et, enfin, des ecoles tres marquees au niveau confessionnel, mais integrant les elements provenant d'autres confessions (Jansenius de Gand, Arias Montanus, Aretius, Piscator, Maldonado, Salmeron). Apparait ainsi une Europe de l'exegese: les pionniers du debut du siecle entament une revolution culturelle en matiere d'interpretation, qui franchit toutes les frontieres nationales ou confessionnelles; elle se repercute au cours du siecle en d'innombrables variations et approfondissements, qui touchent tous les pays europeens et determinent les courants d'un vaste echange d'idees. On decouvre ainsi un chapitre important de l'histoire des idees, qui se diffusent de Salamanque a Wittenberg, de Rome a Paris, de Varsovie a Londres, de Louvain a Strasbourg, de Geneve a Naples, bref un fondement de l'Europe actuelle.

Developed nations strive to create the impression that their hearts and pockets bleed for the developing world. Yet, the global North continues to offer unfavorable trade terms to the global South. Truly fair trade would make reciprocal concessions to developing countries while allowing them to better their own positions. However, five hundred years of colonial racism and post-colonial paternalism have undermined trade negotiations. While urging developing countries to participate in trade, the North offers empty deals to "partners" that it regards as unequal. Using a mixed-methods approach, J. P. Singh exposes the actual position beneath the North's image of benevolence and empathy: either join in the type of trade that developed countries offer, or be cast aside as obstreperous and unwilling. Singh reveals how the global North ultimately bars developing nations from flourishing. His findings chart a path forward, showing that developing nations can garner favorable concessions by drawing on unique strengths and through collective advocacy. Sweet Talk offers a provocative rethinking of how far our international relations have come and how far we still have to go.

Following his account of Irish origins as evidenced by archaeology, genetics and linguistics, J. P. Mallory returns to the subject to interrogate what he calls the ‘Irish Dreamtime’: the native Irish retelling of their own origins, as related by medieval manuscripts. He attempts to explore the reality of this version of the earliest history of Ireland, which places apparently ‘mythological’ events on a concrete timeline of invasions, colonizations and royal reigns that extends even further back in time than the history of Classical Greece. Can the accounts of this ‘Dreamtime’ really inform us of the way of life in Iron Age Ireland? By comparing the world depicted in the earliest Irish literary tradition with the archaeological evidence available on the ground, Mallory explores Ireland’s rich mythological tradition and tests its claims to represent reality.

Sometime before 1579, Zhou Lujing, a professional writer living in a bustling commercial town in southeastern China, published a series of lavishly illustrated books, which constituted the first multigenre painting manuals in Chinese history. Their popularity was immediate and their contents and format were widely reprinted and disseminated in a number of contemporary publications. Focusing on Zhou's work, Art by the Book describes how such publications accommodated the cultural taste and demands of the general public, and shows how painting manuals functioned as a form in which everything from icons of popular culture to graphic or literary cliche was presented to both gratify and shape the sensibilities of a growing reading public. As a special commodity of early modern China, when cultural standing was measured by a person's command of literati taste and lore, painting manuals provided nonelite readers with a device for enhancing social capital.

A haunting fascination fuels our interest in the robot, the android, the cyborg, the replicant. Born in science fiction literature, the artificial human has come into its own in films, lurching to life, holding a mirror to humanity's soul. Beginning with a pre-history of the filmic robot, J. P. Telotte traces its development through early sci-fi landmarks such as Metropolis (1926), the alien films of the 1950s (including Forbidden Planet), and recent explorations of the artificial human in Blade Runner, Robocop, and the Terminator films.Replications also considers the tension between the technological wonders that science fiction depicts and the human values it champions. Film-makers employ the latest developments in technology to fashion ever more realistic human doubles, and then use them to explore what it means to be human. Telotte shows us how the sci-fi genre has always addressed changing cultural attitudes toward technology, the body, gender roles, human intelligence, reality, and even film itself.

In this work the three oldest translations of the Gospels into Syriac are minutely compared in five passages, one from each Gospel and one common to the Synoptics, in order to ascertain their translation methods and linguistic differences. In the conclusion, guidelines are set forth for their use in the Greek textual apparatus and the linguistic data is applied to four questions: 1) what are the sources of the linguistic anomalies in the Old Syriac, 2) when was the Old Syriac translated, 3) who translated it, 4) what is its relation to the Diatessaron.

Les valentiniens ont-ils institué une première et une seconde classe du salut? Saint Irénée les en accuse en dénonçant l'arrogante impeccabilité des parfaits de la secte, leur mépris pour les psychiques de la Grande Église, leur eschatologie à double fond. L'Exposé du mythe valentinien et les textes liturgiques du codex XI de Nag Hammadi nous présentent un tableau bien différent. Pas question de vivre en conventicules d'occultistes frileux, il faut se mêler à la masse des fidèles. Nul fossé ne doit séparer les esprits parfaits des âmes simples. Tout ce monde visible est une école de l'invisible, où se dévoilent les desseins de la Providence. Jésus est venu pour «l'économie», c'est-à-dire pour les concessions miséricordieuses, en vue du «redressement» et du salut de tous. Rarement un écrit gnostique aura livré, de la rédemption, une image plus unitaire. Devant les nombreuses lacunes d'un texte très détérioré, W.-P. Funk a adopté un parti pris de prudence: les reconstructions qu'il propose procèdent de la logique et de la grammaire, à l'exclusion de tout parallèle avec d'autres documents valentiniens. À ce prix seulement, on peut préserver l'originalité d'un auteur qui, tout en exposant le mythe fondateur du valentinisme, dont il connaît déjà un grand nombre de variantes ou d'interprétations contradictoires, adopte une ligne très personnelle, que l'introduction, la traduction et le commentaire de J.-P. Mahé s'efforcent de mettre en valeur. Les textes liturgiques de l'annexe, sur le Baptême et sur l'Onction et l'Eucharistie nous introduisent au c÷ur de la communauté. En cette fin du IIe siècle, le valentinisme n'est pas encore une secte. C'est une interprétation globale de la vie chrétienne qui espère pouvoir concerner la totalité des fidèles.

Skinny Chinese taxi-girls dance with off-duty British military personnel at the Yam Yam nightclub to the strains of 'Rose, Rose, I love you' and 'Terang Bulan'. Attractively dressed in their long, tight-fitting, slit-sided cheongsams, the girls also listen out for loose talk, which they feed back to their Communist handlers. It is 1950s Malaya and the country is in the throes of the Malayan Emergency. As the British do battle with Communist terrorists hiding deep in the jungle, one British officer, a Communist sympathizer, has come to the attention of the staff at the Yam Yam. When Alan Hinlea, a British Gurkha captain with a hatred of a class system that has always kept him down, deserts to the guerillas and is spirited away to the jungle Communist HQ, Chin Peng, the leader of the Malayan Communist Party gloats at what he hopes will be a major propaganda victory. A fellow British Gurkha officer is despatched with five Gurkhas to hunt Hinlea down and the chase through pathless jungle becomes a race against time and a contest of deadly jungle warfare skills. Operation Janus is the first in a trilogy of books involving Gurkha military units that may be read in any order and is followed by Operation Blind Spot and Operation Four Rings. The author, JP Cross, a retired Gurkha colonel, old 'jungle hand' and counter-insurgency expert, draws on real events he witnessed during his time fighting in the Malayan Emergency and on true characters, including a British officer of his own battalion who attempted to join the Communist terrorists.

Poems that travel with a sense of urgency, bearing witness to precarious beauty, fleeting joy and the unfinished work required to survive. The poems in this collection are located in many places including Italy, Russia, Hawaii, Florida, France, Texas, Minnesota and elsewhere. These different places are roots of the same tree that stands in the midst of a threatened and still beautiful earth. Through multiple locations, White explores how we might continue to live inside this vanishing with all the tools that have always been at our disposal: wonder, grief, hope and joy. The poems are meditations on this perilous moment in time and the demands that this moment places on anyone to stay curious and grateful even in the midst of our inability to change course or self-correct with a view toward the greater interconnectedness of all things.
