Full textThe starting issue of our work in Human Rights promotion an African context. We underline somme striking cases of Human Rights violation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The harrowing question of massive violation of Human Rights has led us to a reflection, which has encouraged us to seek advice from other researchers, notably theologians. Our work is divided in three parts. The first one answers the following questions : how to define the triptych Human Rights, Democracy, Constitutional State ? Is the Democratic Republic of Congo truly democratic ? How can Theology make a contribution to Human Rights promotion ? Is there a basic connection between Human Rights and Theology ? The second part deals with the following questions : what is African theologians' contribution to Human Rights promotion ? What is specific in the African Chart for Human and People Rights ? What kind of contribution to Human Rights promotion have the all Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) and the Yaoundé Colloquium brought ? The third part focus on one single question : in Congo, what achievements are working towards protection and promotion of Human Rights due to the three following areas : State, non-governmental organisations, churches ?

Full textIn Côte d'Ivoire, the Christian workship is celebrated through music: singign, dancing, clapping of hands, choregraphy, yelling and symbolic items fom peoples' cultures. In this thesis, African cultural elements are referred to as African Rhythm and the African cultural contribution to Christianity as inculturation. This work deals with the problem resulting from the inculturation of African Rhythm and especially of its consequences over the pastoral dynamic of Christian churches in Côte d'Ivoire. These problems are due to an excessive inculturation which distorts both African spiritual reality and roman Christianity. As solution, this thesis suggests the thorough and continuous training of competent executives for the supervising of choristers and dancers, the correct and credible transcription of the musical works and some modes of introduction for the "attoungblan" talking drum into the Church on the basis of a new alphabetical language

Full textThe thesis is composed of three parts: the first part deals with the precolonial period: 1842-1884. Invited by their british counterparts in the region, the german lutheran missionaries arrived in namibia in 1842 after a long stay in south africa, where they had firsthand experience with the africain continent. After 1884 - year marking the official beginning of colonization - the contradictions between ethical and religions convictions on the one hand, and the german political context on the other hand, take a more serious turn. The second part is devoted to that point. This situation will prevail up to world war i. Thus, as early as 1915, namibia comes under a different rule, without, as shown in the first part, enjoying a better status. What is remarkable is that the lutheran mission which did not have strong connections with the foreign power (south africa), as it had with the german crown - paramount leader of the church - collaborated still with that foreign power. This attitude sets, the lutheran church against the africans. It will, however, be forced to revise its position, thus winning back the credibility it had lost

Full textThe remarkable growth in the contemporary religious field all sorts of forms of "popular religiosity" within or outside established religious institutions may seem a paradox in this third millennium. Thus, in the case of Christianity, it is established that throughout its history the question of religious beliefs and practices popular saying has often been perceived as the domain of the survivals of paganism that the institution had to fight. Field of Catholicism in Africa, the question of "popular religiosity" is also an issue and this, in the context of a widespread religious ferment, while feeding on the resources offered by the Christian tradition also draws the pool of religion and traditional culture. This phenomenon presents itself as a new way to worship and live the Christian faith that challenges the theological and pastoral responsibility of the Church. By its exponential character and his strong theological and anthropological dimension, the problem of "popular religiosity" became a religious and social condition which must not remain indifferent to anyone interested in the present and the future of the young and dynamic African Christianity
Yombe, Giscard Vivien. "Le Christianisme dans l'oeuvre de Chinua Achebe." Thesis, Cergy-Pontoise, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017CERG0844.
Full textTo study Christianity in Chinua Achebe's writings is to perform a ritual ceremony. Such a ceremony was known as 'my ritual return and homage' by the author of "Morning Yet on Creation Day". It is not a mere homecoming and recover of the African past, but it is above all an act of atonement which binds past, present and future throughout the ritual of penitence and therapeutic ecumenism. In the writings of the novelist, animistic precolonial heritage and christian colonial one collide and open up in a philosophical and spiritual dialogue. Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born in an igbo family converted to Anglican Christianity during colonial Africa. Far from being frozen as an 'ikeng', the writer never rejected his chritian heritage. The protest and complex writer simply condemned colonial Christianity brought by the missionaries who came to save children of darkness. He recognizes however the essence of Christianity and the Gospel taught by Jesus that gives Hope and sets free all men and women, Jews and Gentiles.The prophetic vision of the writer is a vision of a political, economic and social liberation. Human values contained in Christian as well as in African beliefs ought to conscientize and transcend the foibles of modernity. Like a penitent, Art and the artist, the objet and the subject undergo a spiritual voyage to reach harmony within the entire universe

Full textPapal texts such as Maximum Illud (1919) by Benedict XV or Rerum Ecclesiae (1926) by Pius XI show that the interwar period represented a watershed in missiological thought which gave a new impetus to missions. Hence a new strategy concerning Christian art in “mission countries” was adopted. Because it had beforehand been centred on Europe, the missionaries’ iconographical policy then consisted in creating a form of sacred art which fitted the various cultural characteristics of “mission countries” better. Armed with these tendencies and above all encouraged by the fact that local art could give noble expressions to Christian thought, the missionaries of “La Société des Missions Africaines” worked for the emergence of Christian art in Benin. Christian art in Benin is highly distinctive and the collections of this country boast a significant number of objects of Christian craftsmanship which deserve a thorough research work. Thus, as well as putting an iconographical corpus together, this thesis will describe the background of the works, examine their various functions, and analyse their successive paradigms which correspond to the new missiological perspective: inculturation

Full textThe 19th century in Sub-Saharan Africa was not only marked by the setting up of the European colonialism, but also by the Christian gospel preached in all the colonized territories. From this time until after the World War II, African identity which means the expression of the way of life of the Africans had been considered as an opposite to the Christian values. Clearly, it appeared impossible to be Christian and African at the same time. So, many African Christians had become Occidentalized and rejected their customs as the work of the devil. In a colonial context, this was considered as normal.After the World War II, African intellectuals initiated a lot of movements, in order to restore the African identity in all the issues concerning African peoples: this was the beginning of the emancipation, culturally and politically. One of the most important of those movements was African Society of Culture, an intellectual movement funded by Alioune Diop and situated onward of the movement “Présence Africaine” which had already gathered African, West Indian and European intellectuals. Alioune Diop became practically the leader of the African emancipation in the 20th century. The PhD dissertation, by focusing on the African intellectual Alioune Diop, emphasizes the importance of the biography, put in French “biographie intellectuelle”, as a method in African history. It is presented as a manner to study the African past in order to get to know this past in a way which appears different but very important to discover some details not covered through methods based on events. Another feature of this reflection is the capacity it gives to consider non organized archives and interviews in a scientific work

Full textThe irruption of Christianism in an already religious ground, the several expressions of the Christian faith in its occidental form, as well as the occidental logical mind, have destabilised the African mentalities. The implantation of the Christianism, with its brutal ways, has surprised and revolted some of the African people. The Christianism has been shown as the only way of salvation. The African man had to choose between his cultural inheritance, and the Christian one. The Christianism was the screen of occidental values. Through this dilemma, the African man was facing the despise of his African traditional believes. It is hard for the African people to live in their African culture and to fulfil the Christian duties. That for their behaviour has been called "syncretism". If the language and the way to behave are the expression of a culture, the African people should deculture themselves to be converted to Christianity ? That is how the first missionaries thought

Full textAs a writer of initiation, Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum represents a reference whom we can no more do without in the African literature. But did we notice to which point, for this Beninese writer, to write about initiation also means to inquire about the mystery of initiation ? It is known that Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum has never gone further than the threshold of the mysteries of the traditional initiation, even though his mere curiosity and his closeness to genuine initiates have won him the recognition of "mystery adventurer". It is his interest in the mystery of initiation that enables the expression mysticism in the initiation account. Writing about initiation is guided by conventions and rules that surprisingly call to remind those of writing familiar to the traditions of Christian mysticism. However, Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum does not pretend to illustrate the Christian discourse. For, mysticism in his works does not always refer to the Christians God. It is rather a mysticism that we grasp in the initiation account through obscure and mysterious manifestations of the supernatural. Despite its pretention to be realistic, the fiction presents a split universe where permanently slips in something real but invisible and elusive yet hard to reject. This supernatural realism is carried by an expression belonging to the poetic of sacred. The mysticism does not exclusively refer to religious phenomena or to the initiation events, but to the manner in which the initiation account expresses or tries to express the phenomena and the events connected with religion or initiation. In this expression or effort of expression which brings out a whole set of procedures, echoes something that goes beyond the initiation event. That is why the scope of investigation of the initiation fiction, is of course the inner life of the initiated person in his complex relationships with the hidden forces of the world, but also all these problems that lead to discover the sacred as a necessary dimension of life and of all human activities

Full textAs its title suggests, this thesis aims at surveying the whole history of the Christian liturgy, organizing its content around a few key ideas. We have found that, from its inception during the Last Supper and throughout its historical development, the Christian Liturgy has been shaped by several factors. It is to be noted that whenever Christianity made a successful and lasting impact, it was due to its transcultural ability to adapt to the diverse cultural environments it wished to integrate. From its origins, it was characterized by liturgical pluralism and even by different liturgical traditions anchored in different cultures. In western societies, this principle was followed so strictly that the Christian liturgy became associated with western cultures and peoples and, eventually, came to be identified with them. Yet missionaries often failed to apply this principle to other countries where they imposed western liturgy taking no account of local customs. As a remedy, Vatican II decided that cultural and local specificity should be taken into account by missionaries to add depth to their ministry. The triple axis of the thesis is therefore based on the historical development of the Christian liturgy along pragmatic and inculturation lines: A first phase when, arising from its Jewish culture, Christianity spread to the West and integrated western cultures and peoples positively. A second phase when missionaries’ methods and theologies disregarded cultural specificity, with uncertain, or rather negative, results in evangelical terms. A third phase, in the wake of Vatican II, which favoured systematic inculturation, enabling the emergence of African rituals such as the Zairian rite. While grounded in the Roman liturgical tradition, these rites were moulded by traditional African values making the liturgy, and Christianity as a whole, more meaningful to these peoples

Full textOur topic “ Western Christianity in the test of African religious values: the case of Catholicism in Bamiléké land ( 1906 – 1995 ) ” portrays the history of Christianity and its consequences on the Bamiléké people. Political and economic circumstances made possible the first evangelization of the African continent which one of the constituents was the oncoming civilizing mission of western cultures and civilizations. This civilizing mission in the long run had a nagative impact on the credibility of Christian message. This message hit its target due to its non-dissociability. The contribution of our work to History consisted in collecting facts related to the missionaries deeds and the native assistants who allowed setting it up to 1964. The Roman Catholic Church was sufficiently established in the region, considering the statistics of conversions, birth and growth of the native clergy, the increase of the number of parishes and auxiliary missions. So, our field of study comes as a striking example of the expansion of Christianity in Africa within the framework of the colonial expansion in the XIXth century. Today, the assessment of the first evangelization seems mitigate and the ambition of the second one wishes to be more attentive to the cultural realities of people in general, the African, thus the Bamiléké in particular. This process began with Vatican II and sanctify by Post Synodal Exhortation Apostolique, Ecclesia in Africa in 1995

Full textReligion is part of the africain universe. The black man knows the divinity. Both, the visible and invisible worlds are one. The social organisation is deeply based on religion. During the last century, white missionnairies arrived in africa. They brought a new vision of the world, in relation with their culture. Part of them rejected tyhe african spirituality. They imposed christianity according to the norms of the western civilization. In a colonial context, the africans adopted the new religion. But they did not abandon their "traditional" religious practices. With the independance of the continent, people feel free in comparaison with the colonial period. They have decided to ptactive christianity, but in their own culture. The consequence is the proliferation of new religious movements which are seriously competing with the historical churches. To solve that situation, a dialogue is necessary between "sectes" and historical churches

Full textThis anthropological study is an interrogation about a possible talks between Sotho of Southern Africa and missionaries of the French 'Société des missions évangéliques de Paris' during the 19th century. It is an exercise of transcription from renewed analysis of write-ups published in journals of evangelical missions. Three major preconceptions have guided this analysis so far. First of all, if meetings took place, what was the occurrence of such events? The first trail questions the modalities of the contacts with the Sotho together, the Sotho woman or with the chief Moshoeshoe. Then, if God has led clergymen to the Africans, omnipresent God is not only overhanging. The second point deals with the materiality of God so as to touch him and eventually reach the meeting. Finally the Sotho, hosts of the missionaries, became the hostages of the storytellers. Are the Sotho's opponents, the other Africans who were met by the evangelists, the ones whose absence may lead to reconsidering the idea of meeting?
Manga, Christian Thierry. "Dynamique socio-religieuse et production territoriale dans une métropole ouest africaine : le cas des réseaux chrétiens de Dakar, Sénégal." Rouen, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009ROUEL027.
Full textContext of the urbanity evolution in the Dakar metropolitan area is combined with the emergence and/or the assertion of identity logics. The religion became, by the way of these networks, an important factor of territorial construction. That goes from the conquest of portions of spaces to the creation of new territories legitimatedd by the monk. The catholic networks socio-monk of Dakar are not only registered in the space of the agglomeration, but not also produced by this one; they are dynamic. By their space-time dynamism, they contribute to structure, develop and modify the territory of the agglomeration. The "territory-network" could thus combine the whole of the relations which are woven inside the various urban structures. Parallel to the administrative geography, the catholic and christian geography evolves/moves with its own structuring and meets its own standards of organization controls around two models : specific and surface; it functions between the room and the total one. It is through the behaviors and the strategies developed by the community to integrate the monk in the urban one that the territoriality takes shape. For the majority adhesion with associations is not systematic, the membership of the geographical entity or the structure lodging association (the company, establishment. . . ) is necessary. One of the principal rules of the operation of these networks is that they emphasize two levels of occurences for which it is necessary to be interested: the individual level of faithful belonging or not to the organization and the collective level of the reseautic organization itself

Full textThis dissertation addresses the problem of the transition from euergetism to Christian charity. The approach focuses on gifts to communities in Late Antique North Africa from the third century to the sixth century. The study uses epigraphical and literary documents and includes anthropological perspectives on gift-giving. During Late Antiquity, euergetism (public benefaction) changes and disappears slowly. According to most current theories, euergetism would have been replaced by a new form of generosity, based on 'Christian charity'. Progressively converted to Christianity, the Romano‑Africans would have given up classical civic generosity, turning instead to the Christian communities. This dissertation studies the discourse and practice of gift-giving and challenges the idea of a transition from euergetism to charity, showing that both types of gifts coexisted in early Late Antiquity. This theory clarifies the chronology of Late Antique generosity and analyzes the expression 'Christian euergetism'. Finally, the study examines the uses of benefaction and shows that gift-giving strengthens social bonds while simultaneously generating tension

That is why we entitled our subject :" The funeral rites of Early Christian North Africa of the 3rd in the 5th century. In the light of Tertullian, Cyprian, Lactantius and Augustine's works". We try to understand the contents of the funeral rites which presided over the Christian celebrations in honor of the dead in the christian environment of the North Africa. How did the Christians celebrated the death in the first centuries? What are the points of view of the first christian writers in the Africa Church on the pagan funeral that the Christians went on celebrating, and what is their contribution about the cult of dead in the Christian area? About the North Africa at the beginning of our era and during Roman Empire, the funeral celebrations first concerned the families. Thanks to Augustine, at the end of the 4th century and at the beginning of the 5th one, we can notice an important evolution of celebrations in honor of the dead that Tertullian, Cyprian and Lactantius had already initiated.They also acquire at this moment an ecclesial dimension, especially with the cult of the martyrs and their relics. To throw light on the funeral subject in the north Africa, it is necessary to understand the history of the pagan cult of the 3rd to 5th century

Full textSubject of this thesis is the sixth book of Flavius Cresconius Corippus’ Iohannis. This section is focused on the preparation and the progress of a big battle: the Moorish tribes reassemble and form a new coalition, a fact that comes with a total subversion of the narrative balance. An Italian full translation will be provided as well as the commentary of Coripp. Ioh. 6, 1-126. A rich introduction - divided into two main sections and preceding both the translation and commentary - primarily concerns Corippus’ historical and cultural background (to the extent that it is possible, considering the lack of information available) and the tradition of the Iohannis through the only surviving manuscript, the Trivultianus 686. A brief reference ismade to the manuscript tradition of Corippus’ panegyric In laudem Iustini. The complex issue of the literary genre is approached, since the Iohannis contains several elements arising from the epic genre, along with a clear encomiastic purpose torwards John Troglita and the Emperor Justinian himself. The main literary models are addressed as well as the ideological and religious framework, the language, the style and the metre of the Iohannis. After that the sixth book will be examined with regard to: literary composition (between history and literary stereotypes), role within the poem, epic shapes, historical interest (use of the indigenous ethnonyms; Byzantine policy towards the rebel tribes; Moorish value system and shared spirituality)

Full textThe question of the celebration of Christian funerals in a context of dual religious affiliation among the Baoulés of Côte d'Ivoire obliges us to focus our reflection on the theology of the inculturation of faith. On reconsidering moreover the concept of dual affiliation, it can be argued that this notion becomes a requirement of inculturation understood as a "dramadialogy". It fits into a logic of dialogue between Christianity and Baoulé religious beliefs in the course of which the elements of the Baoulé culture die off to their non-values for a transfigurative resurrection. But at the same time, by welcoming this message, this culture enriches the heritage of the Church. The reappropriation of the Christian theological discourse on death and funeral rituals from a perspective of African sense is the peculiar feature of this theological construction which is also to be situated within the limits of this same semantic field of the process of inculturation seen as a "dramadialogy". We should not forget, however, to point out that this entire trajectory of inculturated thanatic theology, enlightened by the actuality of the paschal mystery, must also open up to the Pentecostal catholicity of the Church

Full textThis thesis demonstrates that the ecclesiology of the Church-God’s family can be built in relation to the issue of the social welfare for the priests, and linked to that, the issue of the social welfare for the sacred ministers can be thought about with regard to the theology of the Church as Family of God. The finding of weaknesses in the ecclesial practices of the social welfare for the priests which exists in Côte d’Ivoire and their difference with the Church magisterium texts makes me consider a principle: the organization of a social welfare for priests aims at making them free from worries in the future, which can harm (endanger) their ministry and their availability in the present time. In addition, when they are restored in the pastoral and theological context of the new evangelization, and if they are in connection, the ecclesiological issue of the Church-Family and that of the social welfare for the priests evoke the major stake of the Christians’ social commitment. If the reception of a theology of commitment contributes to an emergence of an authentic Christian commitment, the entrepreneurial ecclesiology suggests the pastoral entrepreneurship as another way to undertake in Church-Family to make a success of the bet of the social welfare for the priests in accordance with the wish of the Council Fathers taken back in the Code of Canon law of 1983

Full textThe brotherhoods of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos flourished in Brazil during the slavery period. They were of great interest for African people and their descendants. In spite of being characterized by the imposition of Catholic cults, these lay-led associations revealed as a means for group socialization and identity construction. In this way, such brotherhoods became a space through which black people could produce an alternative form of existence in the world. While at times they were led to accept the religion of their slavery masters, at times they embodied cultural symbols which connected them to the societies from which they had been removed. This ambiguity is perhaps one of the most visible features of this type of brotherhoods. I explore these issues in my study about the brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, which was established by slaves of Angolan origin in Quixeramobim, in the back-lands of Ceará, Brazil, around the year of 1755. Throughout the period of two centuries, the idea of Angolan origin has not been claimed as a central idea in the foundation and continuity of this brotherhood. Yet, it emerges in the notion of group of origin. While doing an ethnographic description of the processes involved in the making of this brotherhood, here I also introduce the concept of identity. Through my dialog with the descendants of the old members of this association I attempt to recuperate the memory of its main form of sociability: the feast of Nossa Senhora do Rosário
Fialon, Sabine. ""Mens immobilis". Recherches sur le corpus latin des actes et des passions en Afrique romaine (IIe - VIe siècles)." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012MON30079.
Full textThis thesis focuses on a corpus of twenty-seven hagiographic texts from Roman North Africa, dated from the second to the sixth century. None synthesis on this corpus had been made since P. Monceaux’s work in the early twentieth century. In the first part, all the latin texts were collected, together with a translation and an exhaustive research of the sources : for many ofthem I gave a new critical edition, and a new text, the long recension of the Passion of Marciana, has been discovered. This corpus is then studied from an historical point of view. The first two sections examine these texts as evidence of the christianization of Africa, through the study of the complex phenomenon of persecutions and martyrdom. The third partillustrates the multiple potentialities of hagiographic discourse, which tends to make a new Christian hero, combination of pagan hero and of the theme of Judeo-Hellenistic Just suffering. The latter addresses the corpus as evidence of the literary culture of African elites and contributes to the cultural history of North Africa and of the circulation of ideas and works. It also discusses the question of the africitas, according to the methods of the LASLA of the University of Liège, methods applied to three passions of Caesarean Mauretania

Full textThe pacification of the African Great Lakes plagued by violence during these last two decades is the ultimate goal of this thesis. After the failure of several initiatives to end violence in the region, our concern was to look in the Kantism a new reason to hope. Thus, this work attempts to show how the philosophical legacy of Kant can contribute to peace and development in Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, three countries of the region ravaged by wars. Our approach has been to consider the moral and political thought of Kant in which we found the foundations of this theory of peace developed in the context of wars in Europe. The discussion of its receipt and the rise of nationalism stigmatizing the Kantian cosmopolitanism, has led us to establish a connection between the promotion by the Nazi regime of the aryan race supposed to be superior than others and considered as a model of the social organization, with the spread of similar prejudices by the colonial administration in the African Great Lakes applicant Tutsi supremacy "created to rule " the Hutu and Twa, simple doomed to slavery negroes. Exploited by politicians anxious to gain power, this "racist judgment," unfounded, will be one of the causes of the genocidal massacre in which will be engulfed Rwanda and Burundi before extending its effects on the Congo, where conflicts will take an economic dimension and involve a number of African countries and other non-African actors. However, capitalizing the reemergence of cosmopolitanism recovery by the founders of the League of Nations and those of the UN, we have stressed the relevance of cooperation and articulation of differences as a precondition for lasting peace. With Ricœur and Arendt, two post-Kantians, we launched the foundation for reconciliation in the three countries, referring to the Franco-German and South African experience. We stressed the importance of the reform of the UN institutions and states of the region so that through the republicanism the state of law should be promoted. The hospitality expressed by cosmopolitanism and international trade in the kantian thought, would result states’ cooperation and the gathering of regional organizations in an economic and monetary union which would lay the foundation of a federation of African states and ensure a lasting peace on the continent and in the Great Lakes region

Full textThe articulation of this thesis derives from a curiosity on how the urban contemporary African believers understand the Holy Spirit. The portrayals African theologians have drawn of the African understanding of the Holy Spirit, seems to be based on a dichotomized theological paradigm: the African traditional religion and the Western Christian tradition, which had created dissonance on the academic stage. This paradigm raises a debate of continuity and discontinuity between the spiritual beings of the two traditions, the traditional spirits and the Holy Spirit. Elochukwu Uzukwu and Matthew Michael, whom this thesis will take a special attention, figure among the few works of the African theologians about the understanding of the Holy Spirit. Uzukwu supports continuity based on the African Independent Churches’ theological orientation, whereas Michael sided with those stating the discontinuity, grounds on the Evangelical theological orientation. These theologians, whom take opposite stances based on their respective theological orientations, represent theologically bipolarized stances on Africanized Pneumatology and the African religiosity. Surprisingly, the ongoing debate among the theologians did not accord much room to the lay believers’ religiosity nor on their empirical studies. Therefore, this thesis has decided to inquire the lay African believers on whom the Holy Spirit is to them hoping that this study could settle the dissonance persisting on the academic field. The voices of the contemporary lay African believers brought vivid accounts on how they have theologized the two spiritual worlds to define the Holy Spirit into an African faith. Their voices that were introduced to the academic field have brought innovative insights and discoveries. It revealed how the Africanized comprehension of the Holy Spirit presented by the African theologians were the stance of the very minority of believers, although it were wrapped as if it was a popular Africanized Pneumatology. Conversely, the bipolarized paradigm on which the African theologians were articulating the Africanized understanding of the Holy Spirit even appeared to be outmoded. Therefore, based on the voices of the ground, this thesis develops proposals for an Africanized understanding of the Holy Spirit that could be relevant and pertinent to an urban contemporary African religiosity. The unheard voices that this thesis brought its attention to call to re-evaluating the articulation between Christianity and Traditional Religion in Africa.

Full textAdversus nationes is a polemical text in which the author, Arnobius of Sicca, defends Christianity in addition to attacking paganism. This text includes the main accusations against Christianity as well as the counter-arguments intellectual Christians presented against pagans. It is one of the last apologetic texts written before the peace of Milano (311). Arnobius explains the importance of moving away from the mistakes of paganism and of adhering to Christianity in order to save one’s soul. Although the nature of this text is not historical, Arnobius provides several hints on his conception of Roman history, to strengthen his argumentation. Adversus nationes, which has not yet been completely translated into French, has not often been studied from the point of view of interpreting history. Such a study allows a better understanding of its author’s thoughts on Rome, its history and its political systems. The first part of this thesis presents a brief biography of Arnobius as well as an overview of the historical context in which he lived. Then, the main rhetorical characteristics of history are exposed in the second chapter. The second part of this thesis provides an analysis of key passages in Adversus nationes. The third chapter focuses on major Roman figures. The fourth chapter addresses divine providence in Roman history. Finally, the fifth chapter looks for Arnobius’s sources behind his treatment of important historical events. In its conclusion, this thesis offers a new hypothesis regarding the date of book 1 of Adversus nationes and uncovers a new influence concerning certain historical accounts reported by Arnobius.
