Résumé
--
Most of the monks in the Eastern Church observe the 'Rule' of Basil all theologians, in the East or the West, refer to Basil's treatises to define the divinity of the Son and the Spirit all exegetes are grateful to Basil for conserving the finest of Origen's commentaries all believers meditate on the mystery of the Creation and human destiny thanks to his commentary on the beginning of Genesis. Basil is a complete personality yet his life lasted barely fifty years. He was born after the Council of Nicaea (325) and died before that of Constantinople (381). He experienced all the great theological quarrels of his time, without living long enough to see their happy outcome. Although a brilliant career awaited him, Basil preferred asceticism and community life in a secluded place. He was a man of combat, never refusing confrontation, even seeking it at times. Intransigent with his brothers, he was conciliating with the pagans or the wise men attached to Paganism. Pragmatic, he reconciled his mystic verve with common sense. Around his monasteries he developed the 'Basiliads', inns for travellers and traders where those who had been beggars for many years were invited to work. A rich personality with much to say to us today.
