Mythes grecs, mythes bibliques
Jean-Daniel Causse - Collection Lire la Bible
Résumé
--
Perceived as having no link with history and being devoid of all truth, the myth is often identified with the fable or the legend. The authors of this book, on the contrary, understand the myth as having a unique rapport with the truth. The great narratives in the Bible, like the major texts of Ancient Greece, are concerned with the central question of origins: the origin of the Gods, of the world, of evil, of death, of humanity and the history of each individual. The myth responds with a story, but a story that tells us the origin has no identifiable chronological beginning, and that it escapes the power of language. Yet it is impossible to put into words what the myth strives to say, not in order to cancel out its inexpressible character, but to hail it and contemplate its rich imaginary and linguistic effects. What function should we attribute to myths? Did the Greeks believe their myths? How does the biblical myth operate in the Old and New Testaments? Does the resurrection of Christ belong to the domain of myth - and if so, in what way? In what respect is the myth the language of a founding event for human beings? These are a few of the questions treated here by Jean-Daniel Causse, Elian Cuvillier, Patrick Guyomard, Dany Nocquet, Catherine Salles and Pierre Sauzeau.
