L'eglise naissante et le catholicisme
Pierre Batiffol - Collection Bibliothèque du Cerf
Résumé
--
It is precisely because Pierre Batiffol's book raises the most important issue in contemporary theological research - that of the Church itself - that a reprint was imperative. Neither a theological treatise on the Church or a history of Christianity, it is in fact an historic study of the nature and structure of the Church during the first three centuries of our era. Although studies of the Church in the New Testament have been numerous in recent years, the same cannot be said for the previous period. How exactly should we approach this issue of the continuity or break between the apostolic period and the early Church, raised by certain contemporary theologians? Pierre Batiffol expresses this major, fundamental question in this manner: Was this hierarchically-structured religious community, shown to exist from the end of the 1st century onwards, an essential part of original Christianity, or was it the creation of the post-apostolic generation? Pierre Batiffol explains that although the nascent Church was inspired by structures that existed in Judaism, it was not simply a carbon copy but directly rooted in the historical figure of Christ. As for the doctrinal and institutional developments of those first centuries, they are the pure efflorescence of the Pentecost, deploying only the authentic apostolic tradition.
