Pour lire l'ancien testament
Gérard Billon, Philippe Gruson - Collection Pour lire
Résumé
--
The Old Testament can be intimidating: so many different books, so many different styles, cultural and religious strangeness. Where should we begin? How can we find our paths? If we are to succeed, we need a guide. The work of specialists over the last thirty years - since the publication of the first 'Pour lire l'Ancien Testament' by Étienne Charpentier - has born its fruit. Historians, archaeologists, exegetes, theologians are constantly discerning new elements that allow us to reach a better understanding of the Bible and its setting, the Near East in ancient times. But a good guide must be up to date, give the indications the traveller needs and suggest appropriate paths of discovery. The authors of the latest 'Pour lire' title have worked with this requisite in mind. They have marked out a course: sixteen chapters - introducing the reader to one book or a group of books - exploring the Old Testament, which is itself divided into four parts: the Pentateuch, the Prophets, the Scriptures, the Deuterocanonical books. Each chapter is structured in the same way: 1 - a brief literary and historical presentation 2 - a longer text with commentary 3 - an invitation to read other well-known or lesser-known passages, 4 - reminders of essential notions. Suggestions for further studies, illustrations, explanatory notices, boxed texts appear throughout the book. In the annexe, readers will also find an anthology of texts from the ancient Near-East, maps, a glossary, a bibliography and various cultural and theological orientations for development. Bible groups, catechists, preachers will be able to draw on this mine of information with the assurance of finding the fundamental notions. The simple Bible-reader will appreciate an accessible and clear book for individual initiation to the Old Testament.
