Sanchez, Sylvain Jean Gabriel. "La "secte " des spirituels de Priscillien d'Avila : doctrine et pratique : Priscillianisme et manichéismedu IVe au VIe siècle." Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040256.
Full textAre there any links between Priscillianism and Manicheism outside the common heresiological accusations ? Priscillian is a schismatic Catholic. He has a good knowledge of manichean and gnostic teachings but his doctrine and his observance are more inspired by the Bible and by the christian tradition. The tendentious elements in his Treatises (the anthropological dualism, the divine origin of the soul, the use of the Apocrypha, etc. ) did not harm the integrity of Avila's bishop but they constituted gnostic and manichean seeds that sprouted in the following generation. The Priscillianists of the Vth and VIth centuries move away from Catholicism by toughening and amplifing these tendentious elements. Through the choice of the problems and the observance that the Priscillianists regard as important (we notice a revival of astrology, of the gnostic myth of the soul, of the exalting of virginity and the rejection of marriage, of the dissimulation by untruthfulness, of rigorous food abstinence, etc. ), the movement takes a clearly heretical direction

Full textThis dissertation traces the history of the procedure which reconciled a non-catholic with the Church from the 3rd to the 7th c. The first part provides the first French translation of a little known African text from the 3rd c. , the De rebaptismate. This text helps to show that heretics, who had received the rites of initiation outside the Church, and also Catholics who had fallen away under persecution, were all reconciled at this time, not only by a penitential absolution, but also by a laying on of hands intended to give them the Holy Spirit, whom they had never received (heretics) or had lost (Catholic lapsi). The second part studies the development of this procedure up to the 7th c. This study interest the ancient penitential system and also picks out the fractures that are at the origin of the divorce between the bases of the modern theologies of confirmation and the sacramental economy in the early western Church. It should therefore help to resolve numerous current questions
Rebillard, Éric. "La pastorale des mourants dans la chrétienté latine (IVème-Vème siècles)." Paris 4, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040123.
Full textAt the end of the fourth century, fear of death and judgment were interpreted as a weakness and even as the fruit of bad conscience. With Augustine, theology of original sin introduces a new point of view: fear of death is the instinctive reaction of a nature which would not have known death without Adam’s sin. To be troubled about divine judgment is the sign of a Christian fully aware of being a sinner; one who puts his confidence solely in the mercy of god. Such a discourse, which is the same in the sermons of Peter Chrysologus and Leo the great, stands out in contrast to the preaching of Ambrose of Milan and bishops contemporary with him in northern Italy. In addition to the teaching of the sermons one ought to consider ministry to the dying. The need for spiritual care seems to take precedence over concern for penitential discipline: Holy Communion at the hour of death is a true consolation for the Christian who has no other hope than divine mercy. The purpose of this dissertation is to trace these shifts in preaching on death and in pastoral care for the dying and to explore, from an historical perspective, their foundation in Christian spirituality

Full textThe object of this thesis is to show the traditional Roman character of Pelagian theology and identify the Roman aristocratic values expressed in Pelagian views. A brief theological explanation of certain concepts that characterize this theology as well as secular Roman attitudes is given. The legal and traditional Roman aspect of Pelagian theology is then analysed, showing the importance of the notion of law and its role, the concept of equity and merit in divine law, the contractual aspect of Pelagian theology and its utilitarian character, the concept of justice and retribution and lastly the purpose of punishment as a detterent to crime. The way Pelagians appropriate traditional Roman aristocratic values is examined i. E. Their elitist attitude, their approach to ascetism, the influence of cerrain Stoic concepts, and the importance of culture and wisdom. This thesis examines the views of various Pelagian authors

Full textSalone, the capital of Dalmatia, gives over martyrs to Diocletian persecution. Worshipped in the 4th century, the Church has few religious buildings at its disposal. As an ecclesiastical metropolis in the 5th century, it becomes influent and gets involved in religious conflicts. Evangelisation spreads to two ports of "ager", which had basilicas and baptisteres. The nomination of fallen emperor Glycerius at the episcopat of Salone proves how influent this siege was. Under the Ostrogothic government, christianism invades "vici" and "villae rusticae" and spreads to new places. Letters from Pope Gelase reveal that Damatia is threatened by heresy, which was the main factor of the struggle opposing the Pope and Constantinople. In the 6th century, the Church had extended its autority all over the territory and knew how to take benefit of the opposition between the two "partes". This game of influence gets to a climatic point with the schism of Maximus, who was opposed to Pope Gregory the Great, Whose tenacity submits this bishop to roman primate

Full textThis research attempts to bring out the theology of the Eucharist that underlies a body of preaching aimed at the common people. The context in which John Chrysostom operates is that of the Christian initiation of new converts, marked by the paganism that prevailed in the city of Antioch; where the Jewish community also exerted a strong influence. After a near-exhaustive reading of the corpus, we focused our study on five homilies that have been preserved in the form in which they were most probably delivered. The method applied to these texts combines modern semiotics, which is attentive to the interplay of linguistic effects, with the resources of philology and rhetoric. Chrysostom’s theology can be distinguished not so much in the way he articulates concepts as in the enunciative strategy he uses to address these “half-Christians”. This theology is grounded in an original interpretation of the Scriptures –in which explanation and application to Christian life are not be dissociated. This study highlights the presence, in the work of John Chrysostom, of a mystagogy that is a path to indepth conversion. The Eucharist then appears as indissolubly linked to a way of life which bears fruits of charity and reconciliation. What gives the theology of John Chrysostom its distinctive shape is its critical relation to the notion of sacrifice. The latter, which is frequently made mention of, is not characterized by its object, but by the inner disposition of he who offers it – most notably by his submission to God. A third term can account for the Eucharist : anaphora, provided we take it to include not only the Eucharistic prayer, but also a process of reference and uplift. Through the celebration, the participants are made witnesses to the unique event of salvation, which, in return, will never stop transforming them

Full textBy implementing a christian allegoric exegesis as a tool to study the Holy Scriptures, Didymos of Alexandria has found a way for man to attain knowledge, progress in virtue and spiritual perfection. Though faithful to this exegetical method of his time, in particular that of the tradition of Alexandria school (IVth century) represented by Origen, did not prevent him from being utterly creative and personal in his arguments, or his support of Christian doctrines in line with the Church teachings, or his discourses on various themes, especially on any topic related to the Holy Spirit. Further to his use of expressions pertaining to the allegorical exegesis such as r`hto,n, i`stori,a, avllhgori,a, tropologi,a, et avnagwgh,, Didymos managed to endow the word “ dia,noia” a specific exegetic value. So, he enriches his allegorical exegesis with a new hermeneutical dimension which develops at the very center where the spirit of man and the Spirit of God join in God's awareness. It is the source of the manifestation of the intellectual and spiritual dynamic in the search of deep sense of the Scriptures. All Didymos' erudition is not only orientated towards the interpretation of the Scriptures, but more so towards the knowledge of God, a knowledge that implies the “self-communication” and God's communion with his human creature through the Holy the work of the Divine Spirit. Any thought inspired by the Holy Spirit can only have an anagogic meaning (avnagwgh,n). If indeed, this thought or teaching emanates from the Holy Spirit, it must be understood in its spiritual sense (pneumatikw/j) (In Eccle. , 281,5-7) ». The Spirit justifies the letter. The hermeneutic of Didymos is a pneumatology

Full textThe subject of this study is the first words of the symbol of Christian faith, which were worked out long before the council of Nicaeum (325) ; it questions the origin and meaning of the word Pantocrator (omnipotens, "almighty"), which qualifies "god the father" the appearance of this word in the Greek bible, then its use in the nine occurrences of the new testament, are examined in turn. The study then revolves around how the early Christian literature (apostolic fathers and apologists) uses it to express both gods paternity and his role as creator. The first part of this research thus leads to Theophilus of Antioch, who was the first to give an accurate definition of the Pantocrator : he who "maintains and contains all things" {ad autolycum i, 4). The second part aims at studying the theology of the Pantocrator and "Pantocratoria" (god's rule and his own realm), as expressed by the great authors of the end of the second and fist part of the third centuries : Irenaeus, Hippolytus and Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria and Origen. With all these authors, the Pantocrator holds an important place : in the struggle of Irenaeus against the gnostics, it compels us to identity the god of the new testament with that of the old ; in the fight of Hippolytus and Tertullian against the monarchians, it highlights the distinction between father and son, while underlining the transmission to Christ of the father's prerogatives over the universe ; with Origen at last, it contributes to account for the link between arche and telos. +it is through his son that the father is Pantocrator; (peri archon i, 2, 10), i. E. In the relationship between god and god which gives us the key to the relationship between god and the world by putting an end to history and summing it up in divine life itself, at the moment when god will be "all in all" (7 corinthians 15, 28). The mystery of the world is that of its "filial assumption" (huiothesia) in the mystery of god the father Pantocrator

Full textThis work studies the sect of the Perates, which is described in the Refutatio omnium haeresium V, 12-18 and which is otherwise very little known. The study is divided into 3 main parts : an assessment of the exegesis of the group, founded on a series of “testimonia crucis et ligni”, and on the reversal of some negative figure of the Bible (Cain, Esau, Nimrod), a procedure usually called Protestexegese ; an analysis about the materials gathered by the sect in heathen cults and religions, above all the adoration of the serpent and astrology ; a trial to place the group in the “milieu” of Asia Minor and of a sociological assessment. The results of the research allow to point to a Christian origin of the sect, even if the Christian elements have been syncretistically mixed with Greek philosophy, mystery cults, astrology, and other components ; the knowledge of Jewish exegesis and culture by the sectarians shows a likely origin inside the Christian churches born in the Diaspora among Ist and IInd centuries

Full textThe miracles of living thaumaturgists, attested in the time of Jesus and the apostles in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, but also in the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, had ceased, when in the 4th, Christian authors began to describe new miracles in Latin Christian sources. This was a real novelty, judged so amazing that the first writings about thaumaturgists, the Life of Anthony of Athanasius of Alexandria (around 360), the Life of Gregory Thaumaturgus of Gregory of Nyssa (about 380) and the Life of Hilarion of Jerome (about 390) do not attribute their heroes all the miracles attributed to Jesus and the apostles. It is necessary to wait for the Life of Martin (towards 397) to see a description of a thaumaturgic power equivalent to that of Christ. Parallel to this return of the miracles accomplished by God through certain particularly pious human beings, during their lifetime, there was the appearance, a little earlier, of this thaumaturgical capacity through the intermediary of relics. The veneration of the relics, on the other hand, was rather related to the belief that the divine uirtus, manifested in the bodies of the martyrs at the moment of their torments to help them bear the pain, remained in their bones or ashes. The definition of the ascetic life as a slow and voluntary martyrdom explains that it was then possible to extend this schema to the relics of ascetics. However, the latter had been able to acquire this uirtus before the moment of their death, as their thaumaturgical miracles proved. From this point of view, they were therefore closer to the Old Testament prophets or apostles than martyrs

Full textThe study of death and after death's representations in Gregory of Nyssa allows measuring the contribution of christianized pagan legacy, of the apologetic traditions, the working of new stances in the debate about Origen. Through various literary genres, there appear various levels of language and argumentation, either inducing faith, or exploring, beyond dogma, the open questions. The comparison with contemporary testimonies shows significant variations. The hidden death of Anthony is far from the burial ad martyres of the monks-bishops. The pagan consolation of immortality, christianized, opens itself on the metamorphosis of body, after the salutary death (de mortuis). The preaching of fear paints the terrifying court; in the treatises, the judgement fades away, in the apocatastasis'prospect; the fire of chastisement, before the purification. In the homilies, testimonia, traditional arguments for resurrection (god creating and recreating, natures analogies) unfold the triumph of Easter liturgy. The theological reflexion in oratio catechetica is based on incarnation-resurrection of Christ, co-resurrecting man

Full textThe Acts of Thomas (= AcTh), a corpus handed down mainly in Syriac and in Greek, form part of the apocryphal literature, and narrate the deeds of the apostle Thomas in India. The corpus consists of five Narratives that witness both the actions and the liturgical prayers that help “to become a Christian”. The present thesis is a research from a historical, liturgical and theological point of view on the textual findings of the Narratives based on the two versions that we have today, namely the Syriac version edited by W. Wright and the Greek version edited by M. Bonnet. The first part of the thesis situates the Christian initiation in its historical context and the second part analyses liturgical and theological content of the five Narratives. The third part of the thesis reveals the specificity of the liturgical practice and the theological understanding of the rite of Christian initiation according to the AcTh. The liturgical content being that, at the demand of the candidates for "rušmā" / " sphragis", the apostle gives them “Anointing-Baptism-Eucharist” in a single liturgical celebration. One of the important findings of this research is that the Holy Spirit who is called upon in two of the Epiclesis of the Narratives was not part of the original texts, but is indeed a later addition resulting from the Trinitarian and Pneumatological discussions in the 3rd and 4th centuries. The shift from a Christological perspective, which is present in the entire corpus, to a Pneumatological perspective in the liturgical texts, shows how the AcTh evolved in tune to the theological developments that took place in the history of the ancient Church

Full textThe persecution of the Church ordered by the Roman State, whether it was by local magistrates or on imperial command, was the most visible manifestation of the hostility directed against Christians during the first three centuries of our era. In reality however, this persecution, more virulent in some of its episodes than in others, was merely the crystallisation of the rejection of Christianity already expressed by the population at large. Christianity, spreading rapidly beyond its original Jewish context, was perceived by Greco-roman society through the deforming lens of ideas and values entirely foreign to it. For this reason, Christians became the victims of religious and social categorisations which forced them into the margins of society. Christianity's assimilation with superstition (Jewish origins, irrational doctrine, recruitment from the masses, doubtful practices [magic, anthropophagy, ritual murder, sexual debauchery, Christ-worship, cross-worship, sun-worship, ass-worship]) and the accusations against it of atheism (a reaction against its exclusive monotheism) and of 'hatred of mankind' (non-adherence to the common values [civil, familial or political]) reveal that public opinion played a crucial role preceding the measures taken against Christians, and that the antichristian hostility was a reactionary movement against a group that threatened the basic structures of the City

Full textThis thesis explores the beginning of Christianization in the towns of Rhineland, drawing on and confronting both archaeological remains of churches and primary written sources. It attemps to study the problem of the martyrs of Rhineland and to establish if the legends are justified by history. It wants to clarify some aspects of Christianity in the fourth century and to review written sources in the light of the archeological material (chapter I). The next part of this chapter studies wether there was a break or a continuity in the towns of The Rhineland during the fifth century, with special reference to Christian inscriptions and graves's items, which were found in or around churches. Chapter II studies the expansion of Christianity during the sixth and seventh centuries in the small towns and in the countryside. And it tries to approach the problem of the adjustment of the Germanic world both to the roman world and to Christianity. It illustrates the mixing of the two worlds and of their customs, using written sources, inscriptions and iconography. Chapter III is an analysis and an interpretation of the cemeteries of Germany (the so-called Reihengraberfelder), based on the confrontation of French, English and German interpretations. It argues that well-furnished graves do not necessarily reflect the deceased's prestige and the structure of Germanic society, but probably a ritual. The next part of this chapter examines if the presence of artefacts in the grave and the mode of burial (cremation, inhumation. . . ) can be interpreted as an indication of ethnicity and of religion. Its aim is to suggest that furnished graves are not necessarily German graves. And that we must distinguish items with real Christian ornament from objects which are not necessarily Christian

Full textThe present dissertation surveys the evolution of the Antichrist myth from Mark 13 to the synthesis by Theodoret of Cyrus. In Irenaeus of Lyon the Endtyrant has an anti-heretic and anti-Jewish function. For Hippolytus, the Roman Empire is an ambivalent reality embodying at the same time the Antichrist and the katéchon. With Origenes, the metaphysical dimension overwhelms the eschatologic one : his Antichrist is above all the pseudo-logos invented by pseudo-exegetes. Victorinus of Pettau and Commodianus identify the Antichrist with Nero rediuiuus, whereas Lactantius deems such an identification absurd. For Cyril of Jerusalem, the Antichrist is one of the devil's organon, just as for the author of the homily De consummatione mundi he is the very incarnation of Satan. Jerome's vision of the myth remains traditional. The great revolution is owed to Augustine for whom each believer is a possible Antichrist insofar as his life does not follow the teachings of the Christ. Theodoret of Cyrus operates the final synthesis of all the patristic traditions

Full textThe ectasy is studied as a phenomenon and not as a notion. With this phenomenon, we must understand the ultimate mystical experience of the immediate and direct union with god, right from here below. This experience constitutes a mode of existence and a mode of know ledge as well. The research also presents the whole itinerary which leads to this aim and which constitutes the mystical way. But, the different philosophical and religious systems do not conceive in the same way, neither the mystical way nor the ecstasy itself. The study compares both of the main thinkings of the three first centuries : neoplatonism -plotinus, porphyry, jamblichus (with the theurgy which influenced him), -on one hand and christianity -scriptures, martyrs'visions patristic from the apostolic fathers till origen, -on the other hand. It tries to show how the different conceptions of these two worlds, at the cosmological, theological and anthropological levels, condition ecstasies also different. The differences concern the object of the ecstasy. The subject who experiments it, the way to get it, the ecstatic state, its cognitive character and its goal. Nevertheless, in the christian tradition of this period, the two alexandrians'thinking, clement and origen, departs a little from the orthodox line and presents certain similarities with the greek philosophical thinking

Full textThe book of revelation and more generally the eschatological material was of great importance throughout the troubled times of the Roman Empire from the time of Marc Aurele. Their anti-roman contents was progressively weakened by the church in search of closer bonds with the roman state. The empire's conversion to Christianity and the renovatio imperii illustrated by the foundation of a "new Rome" in the east during the IVth century, confirmed such a tendency ; the new state seemed to be the very place where eschatological hopes would be realized. Nevertheless, predictions of all kinds continued to circulate, revived in different ways by pagan reaction, heterodox movements and even by the monastic movement, hostile to a church which had widely established itself in the "saeculum". Vth century's barbarian invasions were largely viewed as signs announcing the end of the world, in spite of the dedramatization undertaken by st Augustine. The eschatological and millenarianist interpretation of the facts were nevertheless at the origin of a more positive view of the "barbarian". The latter finally opened the way to the birth of a new Christian kingdom, the kingdom of francs -born on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire

Full textThe History of Religions can no longer remain ignorant of the recent developments in Qumranic Studies ; denying the presence of a monastic sect close to the Dead Sea, these bring to light a far greater history of the messianic movement, whose origins are anterior to our era but whose ideology of salvation formed itself and spread itself out after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in AD 70. A path of research, sketched out a long time ago yet remaining under-exploited until a recent period, draws out common features between this movement, in which many groups called themselves "Nazareans", and the Protomuslims which, up until the 8th Century, designated themselves under the name of "Immigrated". The present study therefore intends to retake this same path in a systematic and global manner ; in particular, it brings a theological analysis which offers a base permitting the interdisciplinary dialogue rendered indispensable by the complexity and the depth of the questions posed

Full textThe aim of this research is the notion of asceticism and its application with Caesarius of Arles, monk-bishop of the VIth century. For him, this requirement for hardship in the daily life of the people appears to represent a prerequisite for the return to faith among the congregation he addresses. It is through hardship that Caesarius wishes to divert the most ordinary people from any danger conveyed by pagan behaviour, but he does, however, not forget charity. His notion of governance is democratic; he fights abuse and is protective and kind towards the poor. The thesis examines these questions using Sermons to people but also Sermons to monks and Monastic works in order to discover whether the vocabulary used is identical and if for Caesarius, the reference to the good Christian is the monk indeed. This will highlight the bishop of Arles’ innovating character for Church life as, according to him, only a modest lifestyle will enable everyone to save one’s soul but also comply with the message of Christ

Full textThis thesis results of a study on the semantism of the word Latin pietas in the fourth century, which began when Constantin legitimated the Christianity. This notion designed in pagan culture the disposition to respect his duties towards parents, fatherland (then, emperor), and gods. In the Christian language pietas designs cultus dei, and the other senses have place in a secondary ground. This evolution is historically effected with Augustine, but in fact, the process of this evolution begins with Lactance, the author of the institutiones diuinae, who tries to "legitimate" the Christian use of Latin. The apologist questions the thought of Cicero, and also of his contemporaneous about Ius naturale, religio. Indeed, questions of right are questions of religion in rom. Pietas is in the found of the Lactantius' reflexion: this notion contents a "familial" logic, which shall guarantee, for the apologist, justice among the "human family". These "rational" arguments of Lactance were strong towards the pagans. So, while the church was legitimated, Lactance organised the new "semantic field" of pietas: humanitas, misericordia, justitia and caritas. The Christian evolution of semantism of pietas shall be achieved with Ambrosius, Hieronymus and Augustine

Full textThe aim of this research work is to show the different stages of the development of Christianity in Campania, an area which played a major part in the history of Italian Christianism. The critical examination of hagiographic sources, the study of a few literary and conciliar documents, the contribution of archeology enable us to refute some legends and to conclude that christianization was not prior to the middle of the third century. As early as the fourth century, Campania was confronted with religious crises like all the other parts of the western Christian world, arianism and pelegianism. But it had an originality of its own owing to its geographical situation as a cross roads. It was a sort of crucible where roman, African, Greek and oriental influences fused as the architecture and the ornamentation of early Christian monuments show. The third part takes us to Cimitile near Nola where Paulinus, a converted aristocrat, founded a monastic community by the tomb of saint Felix. Cimitile was to become one of the main centers for the propagation of Christian culture in the west as attested by the exchange of letters between Paulinus and Augustine, Jerome, Sulpicius Severus. Between 431 and 536, the number of dioceses increased, the benevolent bishops funded the construction of Christian monuments which altered the urban scene. Christianity spread among the rich and cultured aristocracy. Monasteries thrived as the foundation of one at Naples and that of saint Benedict at Monte Cassino showed. Between 536 and 604, over half the dioceses disappeared during the gothic and Lombardian wars but the aristocratic financial support continued with the construction of monasteries in Naples

Full textAs roman emperors converted to christianism the building up of rules defining the status of Churches estates is a slow and late process inconspicuous before justinian law occurred. The present contribution describes such a process taking into account all political, economical, and social issues which were to be regulated by the late Empire justice. This study applies to Italy and its periphery starting from Constantin reign till the pontifcate of Gregory the Great. This status results not so much from a direct relationship between Empire and Churches (persecution and then imperial benevolences, prosecution of heretics) or from a substitution to pagan cult. Churches avoid taxes not as a result of a global status but rather from particular privileges and favours. When a church is involved in disputes for property, its most efficient weapons lie in its economical power and in the dignity bestowed to its clergy. Properties passing from family patrimonies to Church one's, are at the heart of lawsuits where family interests are to be conciliated with clerical logics. The clergy draws a growing part of its remuneration from the properties of Church. While episcopal elections threaten patrimonies through bribery and venality of clerical duties, clerics from great Churches succeeded in claiming and obtaining regulations from clerical, royal and imperial authorities thus limiting alienations of clerical properties and favouring their growth

Full textThis inquiry is first interested with the soteriology of Cyril of Alexandria. By reading his works. It is noteworthy that he has no interest for a philosophical reflection on man, but only for a theological one: nothing about soul, mind, or about the links between soul and body. . . Cyril speaks only about sin (the transgression of Adam), death, corruption, salvation, incorruptibility, Holy Spirit. . . The Adam Christ typology proves to be a structure of Cyril’s theology, a key to an understanding of his view of salvation. But the notion of participation is also decisive to understand how men can receive the gifts that Christ has received for himself. Eucharist plays a very important role (more than baptism). We can discern two logics, the physical and the ethical, when Cyril describes the primitive fall and its effects, and the salvation and its ways of transmission. These two logics must be connected with the Adam Christ typology, and with the theology of participation. At last this work tries to pass "from the work of salvation to the being of the saviour". By this soteriological approach of the Christology, it is possible now to show that the logos-sarx Christology is not a satisfactory explanation of what Cyril teaches about Christ’s being: humanity of Christ, physically and ethically considered, has an essential place in his system

Full textBefore the 8th century, ancient traditions concerning the Virgin Mary’s final fate are numerous and extremely complex. Literary traditions concerning the Virgin Mary’s dormition and assumption constitute a central element of these traditions. A study of their clarification and historical situation cannot be achieved without an examination of topological traditions. The present research aims at clarifying the origins and evolution of these ancient traditions with a combined study of literary and topological traditions. The main objective of this research is to come to a better understanding of these numerous traditions. These ages should be taken primarily as a preliminary study for a critical edition of these texts often entitled under the generic designation "history of the dormition and assumption of Mary". A survey of groups of traditions, with their own history of contacts and influences, leads to a more precise knowledge of the origins and evolutions of beliefs which will lay a leading role in Christian spirituality and doctrine this survey of traditions brings to light in each group of texts one or several texts of manor importance, although it is not acknowledged until now. The study of sanctuaries, feasts and traditions related to the marial cult of the holy city and is environment substantially contributes to the history of Jerusalem

Full textUnanimitas, a phrase pertaining to the Christian terminology, best expresses the communion of saints in the Western part of the late Antiquity; indeed, communio sanctorum remains a rare expression that only appeared by the end of the fourth century in the writings of Nicetas of Remesiana. For some renowned converts, unanimitas became more than just a quality deemed necessary to keep a friendly relationship: it is a genuine desire for fusion that can be found between two persons who are physically remote from each other, but also between living people and others that death, be it glorious or not, has placed in a hereafter that is difficult to reach. Unanimitas can only be achieved between Christians who experience it whenever they receive the Eucharist, or within the course of prayer. A binding leaven of the Church, it is at the core of all community life, from the family to the city and from circles of friends to monasteries. Furthermore, it breeds social practices, or justifies them, such as the celebration of saints, which cannot be comprehended without this particular metaphysical reference, as it also unites the faithful to his God

Full textThe foundation of a local Church by an apostle is a major component in inter-ecclesial relationships. However, such foundation could be an object of dispute, especially if the apostolic status of the founder is not obvious in the New Testament. That is why a Church could be brought to build an apostolic past, notably by the production of apostle' lives, which can emphasize both the apostolic status of the figure and its founding feature of the church. The aim of this study is to compare how the Churches of Crete and Cyprus build their apostolic past through the figures of Titus and Barnabas. This work also analyzes the ecclesial and politic stakes of theses constructs and their reception by the Churches outside Crete and Cyprus. After presenting the New Testament datas about Titus and Barnabas, this thesis studies the reception of these figures in the Christianity in the first five centuries. Then it analyzes the relationship between these figures and the Churches of Crete and Cyprus. To do it, it interests first to the writings composed about them from the 5th century, then to the Cretan and Cypriot texts which mention them in an indirect way. Then, it intends to study the devotional practices toward these figures and their identity uses, especially during the periods of Frankish and Venetian rule. Finally, this work examines the reception of Cretan and Cypriot traditions regarding Titus and Barnabas outside their respective island, in the hagiographical and not hagiographical literature of the Byzantine Empire and of the Coptic, Syriac and Armenisch worlds

Full textThe thesis explores medieval heresy through the study of the iconography of heretics in Europe, between the end of the 10th C. And 1230. In the 11th C. , the greatest part of reproductions represent heretics of the first centuries of Chritianity (Arius, Faustus. . . ). These images are testimonial of the rediscovery of heresy of Antiquity, practised in different regions and starting from a reflection on orthodox subjects. In the reproductions of the 12th C. , heresy is connected to the representation of prophecies. During the third decade of the 13th C. , we find images of "contemporary" heretics (Publicani, Albigenses. . . ). This thesis proves that the idea of heresy in 11th C. Derives from the updating of heresy of the Antiquity and its projection on an eschatological plan. The representation of contemporary heretics, which appeared two centuries after the first sentences against heresy, underlines that in the final phase of this evolution, the idea of heresy was brought back to daily life
