About This Book

Le récit reprend les événements qui suivent la mort de Jésus, montrant comment la croyance en la résurrection, les apparitions et la descente de l'Esprit favorisent la formation d'une communauté centrée à Jérusalem; l'ouvrage examine la critique des sources, l'organisation cénobitique de l'Église primitive, l'institution du diaconat, les persécutions et les premières missions, notamment l'expansion en Syrie et à Antioche où se dessine une séparation progressive du judaïsme et l'idée d'un apostolat des païens. Il discute la conversion et le rôle de Paul, compare son influence à celle des Douze, et conclut par un examen du contexte politique et religieux du monde romain qui prépare les missions.

About the Author

Renan, Ernest portrait

Ernest Renan

Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French philosopher, historian, and theologian, best known for his works on early Christianity and the life of Jesus. His influential book, "The Life of Jesus," presents a critical and humanistic interpretation of the biblical figure, challenging traditional religious views. Renan's writings often explore themes of faith, history, and culture, reflecting his interest in the intersection of religion and philosophy. He also contributed to the understanding of the Apostles in his work "The Apostles," and his autobiographical reflections in "Recollections of My Youth" provide insight into his formative experiences. Renan's legacy continues to impact theological and historical discourse.
