Résumé
--
In this new book, Professor Winling presents elements of historical and theological information in the aim of transmitting deeper comprehension of the mystery we celebrate at Christmas. The first part is historical, exegetic and theological. It presents the Scriptural sources of the celebration and retraces evolution at the times of the Fathers of the Church. Controversy on the subject of the birth of Jesus and his human-divine identity is also treated. The second part of the book is more meditative, considering deeper issues. While a great many people celebrate Christmas, to the point of making it a high point in the business year, the deep meaning of the celebration is truly little-known - a paradox that the author observes with sadness. On the other hand, he marvels at the treasures of meaning and poetry attached to this festive season: Christmas, the celebration of the mystery of the Son of God made man, in order to make us players of our own salvation: in this respect, the nativity of Jesus represents the decisive moment that liberates humanity in its relationship with God, this is the source of pure joy. In this beautiful book, the author provides a thorough synopsis of today's research on Christ. But Raymond Winling does more than that: he offers readers a beautiful and sound meditative reflection, in which the theologian shares his own faith in the mystery he is studying.
