The Transference of the Three Mediating Institutions of Salvation from Caiaphas to Jesus
«It is better one man dies than the whole nation perishes» (Jn 11: 50). Caiaphas' sentence goes beyond ethical principles and religious expectations. It appears as the saying of a cynic politician. Besides, it is seen as the perfidious advice of a corrupted high priest to the members of the Sanhedrin. Who is this man on whose saying a school is formed? Who is this man who played the most important role in the death of Jesus? Indeed Caiaphas' sentence gives rise to the following relevant question: is the prohibition of killing (Dt. 5: 17), even the killing of a single individual in order to save a whole nation, legitimate? Thus, many issues that are associated with this high priest are associated with Jesus. The book is mainly an exegetical and comparative analysis of Jn 11: 45-54 and the Akan myth of the crossing of the river. By providing new theological insights into Caiaphas link to Jesus' death, it gives pertinent answers to the above questions.
Visión africana de las mujeres de la Biblia
La lectura "contextual" se practica poco en Europa. Fundamentándose en un serio enfoque literario, las lectoras y los lectores son orientados, por sus situaciones actuales, sus contextos de vida, a escuchar en las Sagradas Escrituras la Palabra que interroga precisamente esta vida. Partiendo de las realidades vividas actualmente por las mujeres en África, los biblistas analizan las figuras de Ana, la madre de Samuel, la "mujer-madre" tradicional, la "mujer valiosa" de los Proverbios, que desborda este modelo, las mujeres discípulas del evangelio de Marcos, y la "madre de Jesús", modelo de mediación.
Nulla andrà perduto
"Il terremoto d'Abruzzo è la metafora dello sconquasso italiano. Dobbiamo ricostruire sulle macerie per riprenderci il futuro, raccogliendo ogni frammento di bontà e di bellezza, perché nulla vada perduto". Giovanni D'Ercole
En pensant aux miens
« Dans tous les cas, pour quiconque vient en mission ici, qu'il ne pense pas qu'il sera aimé, choyé, chouchouté, adoré et adulé comme au pays. Comme l'évêque, le prêtre est plus que monsieur Tout-le-monde. On le verbalise, on le toise, on lui crie dessus ouvertement et publiquement, on l'insulte, le bafoue, on le traduit en justice, pire, on le met en prison. [...] Le prêtre, ici, n'est pas l'épouvantail, quelqu'un qu'on craint et dont on a peur. Les gens viendront lui dire ce qu'ils pensent en "live", sans détour, sans aucune forme de procédure. » 2012 : B. Diané, prêtre ivoirien, est envoyé exercer sa mission au cœur de l'Europe, en Belgique. Cette mutation déclenchera u...
