La vie de moïse selon grégoire de nysse
Michel Corbin - Collection Initiations pères eglise
Résumé
--
La Vie de Moïse is the first patristic text published in the 'Sources chrétiennes' collection. Written during the last decade of the fourth century, its intention was to prove to a young monk that the limit of perfection in human life is simply not to imagine any such limit, for each gift granted by God to a soul who loves Him is a constant promise of higher things to come, more worthy of his greatness. Gregory saw that law of Exodus, which can only be the initiative of God himself, at work in the twenty-six episodes he assembles here from the books of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. From his birth in Egypt to his death in the mountain, overlooking the Promised Land, Moses constantly exceeds his own greatness. In so doing, he recognizes more and more clearly that God remains beyond what he has experienced and sensed of Him, and that belonging to Him means never ceasing to journey toward Him. It would appear that there is only continual progress the path followed by the Lawmaker passes by a series of thresholds which reveal that, if excellence and profusion are met in God, it is because of Jesus' death and resurrection, an unsurpassable event of love for mankind. Here, that magnificent text is read step by step, following a procedure well-known to our ancestors.
