Les propos sur la contrition de jean chrysostome
Laurence Brottier - Collection Patrimoines - christianisme
Résumé
--
John Chrysostom's 'Propos sur la contrition', like most of his early writings, has been until now at best neglected, at worse read with aversion. This prejudice against the two works, which were intended for monks at a time when John himself became deacon, is due to a common misunderstanding. After his ordination, Jean would appear to have moderated his Christian exigency to make himself more accessible to his community. But an attentive reading of the 'Propos' shows that these works constitute a prelude to his preaching: most of the questions treated and the images employed are in fact recurrent in his homilies and even in his correspondence when in exile. So emerges the deep unity of his spirituality and his affirmation of a unique Christian perfection, incarnate in different states of life. In this volume, readers will find not only the translation of many passages of his homilies, which reveal the continuity of his thinking, but also comparisons between the spirituality of the 'Propos sur la contrition' and diverse expressions of Christianity, both in the East and the West, whose representatives often consult these underestimated texts. So the 'Propos' has been doubly prolonged: in the author's work, in the medieval spiritual currents of thought and in modern times.
