Résumé
--
Right from the beginning, Christians have had to testify to their faith in Christ in a world marked by a great diversity of practices, beliefs, doctrines, wisdoms and spiritualities - in short, by the entire spectrum of what we refer to nowadays as cultural and religious traditions. The present work undertakes to study ancient Christian literature from this perspective. Of course, it is necessary to tackle the subject through the prism of the New Testament itself (which, in turn, cannot be read except in context with the Old Testament). Nevertheless, the reading of the patristic texts presented here still assumes the authority of the Scriptures, the initial source of all Christian theology. However, one can justifiably approach the subject through texts which predate the 1st century AD, not only because any interpretation of scriptural texts must take into account ecclesial decisions made after the editing of the New Testament writings, but more precisely because reflection on Christ evolved during the centuries of the patristic period, through multiple confrontations with belief systems from all round the Mediterranean basin and ever further afield. It is therefore the patristic epoch which interests us in this book - or at least the first half of that period, stretching from the beginning of the 2nd century AD to the start of the 4th. In Michel Fédou's own words, his intention was not so much to produce a history of Christological dogma as to 'create an awareness of the genesis and evolution of theologies relating to Christ in the context of the cultural and religious traditions of the ancient world'.
