Colonial Discourse and the Jesus-fication of King Chaka
Although Chaka is considered an African literary masterpiece, Thomas Mofolo has paradoxically been dismissed by critics as an author naively extolling the virtues of the white man’s “civilizing mission” in Africa. Daniel M. Mengara’s Colonial Discourse and the Jesus-fication of King Chaka: How Thomas Mofolo’s Chaka Turned the Zulu Monarch into a Messiah offers a rereading of Chaka to show that Mofolo in fact astutely deconstructs, and then reconstructs, Zulu king Chaka into a messianic figure whose life trajectory and destiny blasphemously mirror those of Jesus Christ.

Kabbalah and Jewish Modernity

Le cœur de Jésus
Dans cet ouvrage très pédagogique, l’auteur nous plonge dans l’histoire et la spiritualité du cœur de Jésus, ou Sacré Cœur. Partant des apparitions de Paray-le-Monial au XVIIe siècle, il élargit notre regard pour nous en faire découvrir les origines, l’ampleur et l’actualité. Le cœur de Jésus n’est pas, en effet, une dévotion parmi les autres (sentimentale ou doloriste, comme on le croit trop souvent), mais désigne le message central de l’Écriture, déployé dans toute l’histoire de l’Église et dont nous sommes appelés à vivre pleinement aujourd’hui. Un livre lumineux et argumenté, pour renouveler notre compréhension du cœur de Jésus et le laisser transformer notre cœur. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Prêtre du diocèse de Malines-Bruxelles et membre de la Communauté de l’Emmanuel, Benoît de Baenst a enseigné la théologie pendant de nombreuses années et est coresponsable de l’Unité pastorale des Sources Vives à Ixelles et Uccle. Il est l’auteur de Que penser de l’au-delà ? (Fidélité, 2020) et La Parole de Dieu (Emmanuel, 2021).
