L'histoire d'israël entre mémoire et relecture
Philippe Abadie - Collection Lectio divina
Résumé
--
For a long time, archaeology was biblical, i.e. placed in the service of revealing the truth of the Scriptures. Many widely read books are witness to this fact, their unique aim being to prove 'the truth of the Bible'. But today, archaeology has become a science in its own right, with no apologetic purpose simply the scrupulous study of material facts. In consequence it produces a parallel account, often diverging from that constructed by the biblical narrative of the history of Israel. Historians, archaeologists and biblists find themselves confronted with clear and crucial questions: What is the nature of biblical text, and what is its relation to the truth? Philippe Abadie enriches the debate by studying a certain number of historical issues under discussion today: the origins of the people of Israel, the conquest of their territory or the existence of a large kingdom unified by David and Solomon... In so doing, he seeks to establish an exact rapport to archaeology and to enlarge the meaning of what we usually understand by 'historical truth'. Using the biblical texts as a 'primary source' turns out to be illusory. Just as it would be illusory to ignore them and heed only external sources. Is the Bible a historical document? The answer to this question must be nuanced: the Bible is a book in history. The Bible reader is invited always to bear in mind the Biblical authors' intentions as historians in the great theological-literary synthesis, and the modern quest for historicity."
