Résumé
--
This commentary on the Letter to the Ephesians presents an interpretation that reveals the inner coherence of what is a difficult text, though indispensable to our understanding of faith. Based on a study of the vocabulary used and the organisation of the text, it brings to light all its dynamism. The historical aspects have not been neglected neither in respect of the author nor of certain themes, especially those that concern Christian ethics and society or the Christian community itself. The author makes comparisons, as often as is possible, with Jewish texts and even more so with pagan writings of the period. The aim is to show the essential nature of this epistle whose key place in theology has been too long denied. For it is impossible to speak of Christ, of the Church, of the Revelation, of Christian life - without referring to this chapter. Because it is one of Paul's later epistles, it brings new and decisive elements to theological reflection, whether we consider the election of Christ, the implications of the Resurrection, the moral consequences of faith, or the understanding of the Church in its relation with Christ. The use and the development of the theme of the body to speak of the Church, and to reconsider the relations between Israel and the nations, is not only innovating but also fundamental, if we are to renew our vision of the Church. In conclusion, the relation between this text and Paul's other writings provides an essential and indispensable extension of the Revelation.
