Pioneering study of the role of the Christian churches in the Rwandan genocide of the Tutsi; a key work for historians, memory studies scholars, religion scholars and Africanists.
Interdite de façon absolue et non suceptible de dérogation, la torture est pourtant au devant de la scène internationale depuis près de deux ans, à travers de multiples et sordides révélations y afférentes, et surtout à cause de la remise en question de son interdiction absolue, au prétexte de la lutte contre le terrorisme. De par son existence même, la résurgence de ce débat public autour de la torture témoigne de la dévalorisation progressive des schèmes justificateurs de son interdiction. L'invocation incantatoire et autolâtrique de la dignité humaine ne suffit en effet plus, si elle a jamais suffi, pour empêcher le recours à la torture. S'il en est ainsi, si, in fine, la recurrence de la torture s'explique par la faible justification de son interdiction absolue, alors il apparait qu'au plan philosophique, l'une des tâches primordiales consiste à réexaminer la justification de cette interdiction.

The language of the Gospel of John is known for its complexity. On the basis of the modern standards of transparency and logic, previous scholars have depicted this language as obscure, confusing, and mysterious. Thomas Tops goes beyond these oversimplifications by providing an in-depth historical study of John's characterisation of Jesus' language with the terms paroimia and parr e sia . By providing original insights in these terms, the author offers a new perspective on the functioning of Johannine language. As the Johannine Jesus teaches both through paroimia and parr e sia , his language conceals and reveals at the same time. His criticism is veiled and calls on its addressees to search for the hidden meanings of his words. Veiled speech allows the Johannine Jesus to criticise his opponents and openly reveal his messianic identity to those who cannot accept the truth in any other way.
