La théologie des énergies divines
Jean-Claude Larchet - Collection Cogitatio Fidei
Résumé
--
The distinction between divine essence (Greek ousia) and divine energies (Greek energeiai) received remarkable elaboration and precise definition in the theology of Saint Gregory Palamas (14th century). This notion holds an important place in the theology and spirituality of the Orthodox Church, while the Roman Church has not only remained detached from that distinction, but has been generally critical of it, accusing Palamas of innovation. Yet the implications are of great consequence, since they concern questions of nature and the limits of our knowledge of God, of the nature of grace (created or uncreated), and the circumstances of the union between man and God and his deification. One might even say, although the subject is hardly ever raised, that the future of the ecumenical dialogue also depends on it. Christian representation of the notion of divine energy (or energies) is also important in relation to para-Christian or non-Christian representations observable in certain philosophical or religious currents of the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East and the Far East, in Antiquity and the early Middle Ages which are now resurfacing in some spiritualist movements that draw their inspiration from them. The aim of this study is to define the role and the meaning of the notion of divine energy (or energies) and its correlations in the theology of the Greek Fathers of the classic patristic period, spanning from the beginnings to Saint John of Damascus (8th century) not forgetting the scriptural roots and philosophical incidences in Antiquity and during that same period.
