LE PENTATEUQUE – UNE CANTATE A PLUSIEURS VOIX

With the help of three examples, Deut 32 :8-9; Gen 18,3; Gen 22,2, this article endeavours to show that there is a plurality in the different forms of the text at our disposal. The Masoretic Text has no monopoly from a critical point of view. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Qumran texts cannot be considered as basically sectarian texts. The LXX, the Vetus Latina, the Vulgate and the Peshitta are all but mediocre translations of a standard text. We find in them authentic witnesses of a text that was transmitted in different forms and was modified, corrected, expanded or interpreted in the course of its transmission. The interpretation of the text begins in the text itself.

KABASELE MUKENGE. Les scènes bibliques de lecture publique et le destin des auditeurs. Réaction.

Kabasale commence son analyse des scènes bibliques de lecture publique en posant les principes éthiques de toute lecture. Si le lecteur est un implicite du texte alors cela implique l’impératif éthique de tout acte de lecture, autrement dit la responsabilité morale du lecteur vis-à-vis du texte, de son auteur et de sa communauté. Comme l’acte de lecture se fait dans une dialectique du texte et du lecteur, il s’y opère un processus de refiguration et de transfiguration.

« Théologie interculturelle » : Forme discursive de la catholicité

The discipline „Intercultural Theology“, which is more and more established in the universities of German speaking countries, expresses in a special way what « catholicity » means. According to relevant texts of Vatican Council II, the church is « catholic » if she lives unity in diversity, stands together with the poor, is able to translate her message in different languages and realizes the „new life“ of baptism in different cultural traditions. The „catholic profile“ of intercultural theology consists in the competence to give an answer to the challenge of the other (responsivity), to be in dialogue with as many as possible (polylogue) and to take up the challenge of the public sphere of society (political orientation). This is the way how « Intercultural Theology » can fulfill what 1 Peter 3 :15 says : to answer for the « Logos » of Christian Hope in a global horizon.
