Dans un monde devenu séculier et où la tradition chrétienne est en recul, on est en droit de se poser la question de la pertinence des textes bibliques. En lien avec cette situation, on peut aussi se demander quelle représentation de Dieu émerge de la façon dont on accueille ces textes. Ce type de questionnement sous-tend l’intérêt que peut représenter une approche processuelle des textes bibliques, approche encore peu connue dans le monde francophone. Celle-ci est-elle en mesure d’apporter une certaine nouveauté dans la vision de Dieu généralement proposée en milieu chrétien ? Pour répondre à cela, il a semblé pertinent de tenter l’exercice à partir d’un texte englobant et fondateur. Genèse 2, connu pour raconter la création d’Adam et Ève, est porteur d’images presque stéréotypées à force d’avoir été lu et remâché. À ce titre, il a paru particulièrement approprié. Mais, avant même d’explorer le texte sous un angle processuel, il s’est avéré indispensable de commencer cette démarche par une traduction personnelle du texte hébreu, à partir et avec l’aide d’une analyse syntaxique et textuelle, dont on verra qu’elles ont ouvert le texte à de nouvelles hypothèses de traduction, de nouvelles nuances, comme autant de pistes à confronter à une théologie processuelle. Enfin, cette analyse ne peut se faire sans être en dialogue avec différents commentaires, exégétiques ou non, afin de souligner les convergences comme les divergences rencontrées au fil de la recherche et de la réflexion. / In the world that has become secular and where the Christian tradition is declining, we are entitled to question the pertinence of the biblical texts. In link with this situation, one can also wonder which representation of God arises depending how one receives these texts. This type of questioning underlies the interest that a Process approach of biblical texts can represent, even though the approach is still not much known in the French-speaking world. Does this approach possesses the ability of bringing some novelty to the vision of God generally offered in the Christian world ? To answer this, it seemed preferable to try the experience from a founding and forerunner text. Genesis 2, known to tell the creation of Adam and Eve, is bearing most stereotypic images by having been read and read, and chewed again. Therefore, seemed to be particularly accurate. But even before exploring the text from a Process angle, it has been proved essential to begin this with a personal translation of the Hebrew text, from and with the help of a syntactic and textual analysis, which as it will be shown, has conducted to open the text to new assumptions of translations and nuances, as so many tracks to be confronted to a Process theology. Finally, this analysis cannot be made without engaging in a dialogue with different commentaries, exegetical or not, in order to underline the convergences as well as the divergences met in the course of the research and of the reflexion.

La contribution intellectuelle d’Érasme de Rotterdam (ca 1466-1536), en particulier dans les domaines exégétique, philologique et littéraire, a été décisive pour l’histoire des idées et l’évangélisme humaniste. Ses "Paraphrases sur le Nouveau Testament", visant principalement à clarifier le propos des saintes Écritures, représentent l’aboutissement de tout son travail exégétique. Davantage qu’un commentaire savant, elles ont contribué à diffuser la piété et le savoir biblique chez les laïcs, ce qui explique le franc succès qu’elles ont remporté au XVIe siècle. Toutefois, la question de leur réception et de leur diffusion en langue française reste encore peu explorée. La "Paraphrase sur l’épître de Paul aux Romains" a eu une importance toute particulière dans le contexte de la Réforme religieuse. Elle a été traduite du latin au français dans un manuscrit rédigé en 1526 par Hubert Kerssan, chanoine de Nivelles, dans le Brabant wallon. Destinée sans doute à un usage privé ou, du moins, à une diffusion plus restreinte, cette traduction est restée dans l’ombre jusqu’à aujourd’hui et son existence même est encore inconnue de la critique, d’où notre projet de la rendre accessible grâce à l’établissement d’une édition critique. Ce travail éditorial a été l’occasion d’étudier la traduction de Kerssan en regard du texte original, ce qui nous a permis de déterminer comment elle s’en distingue, de même que de réfléchir au choix du mode de diffusion manuscrit dans le contexte humaniste du XVIe siècle. Après près de cinq siècles, le manuscrit de Nivelles peut enfin acquérir une certaine visibilité. Il saura contribuer à l’étude de la réception et de la diffusion de la pensée érasmienne dans les milieux francophones en Europe ainsi qu’aux problèmes théologiques et culturels posés par l’œuvre d’Érasme. / The writings of Erasmus of Rotterdam (ca 1466-1536) contributed to many fields such as exegesis, philology and literature. They had a major influence on the history of ideas and on humanist evangelism. Overmore, the "Paraphrases on the New Testament", that were meant to clarify the meaning of Holy Scripture, represent the outcome of all the exegetic work of Erasmus. They participated even more than scholar commentaries to diffuse piety and biblical knowledge among lay people. This explains the great success they gained in the 16th century. The "Paraphrase on Paul’s letter to the Romans" had a special importance in the religious reform context. It was translated from latin language to french in a 1526 manuscript written by Hubert Kerssan, canon of the city of Nivelles, in the Walloon Brabant. Since this translation was probably intended for a private use or at least a limited diffusion, it is still unknown in the area of erasmian studies. For this reason, our project is to make the 1526 manuscript accessible by establishing a critical edition. While doing this editorial work, we compared Kerssan’s translation with Erasmus’ Paraphrase in latin in order to determine in which way it differs from the original. We also investigated the possible reasons it was not published in the humanist context of the 16th century. After five hundred years, the Nivelles manuscript can finally be diffused. We hope that this critical edition contributes to a better understanding the reception and diffusion of Erasmus’ philosophy in french speaking environment all around Europe, as well as to the study of theological and cultural issues that arises from his writings.

This thesis focuses on exegesis and interpretation of Judges 11, 29-40. Main method used in this thesis is narrative analysis, via which I investigate and interpret the chosen text as one story unit in its contemporal form. I focus on the course of action, how and with whom the characters act and what is the meaning of these in the whole narrative. I examine the structure of the text, because it's essential for the story told. I examine the context of the chosen text as well, because it's in the middle of broader narrative about Jephthah, of the book of Judges and of the Old Testament. Behavior and actions of characters, as well as facts used in the story, may have different meanings, which may not be apparent from the text itself. The aim of this thesis is to find one or several interpratiations, which will be based in the text itself and its context as much as possible. That will aslo enable me to deal with other intepratations. In the conclusion, I will shortly speak about text's influence on arts and present several themes for homiletic or pastoral use, which the story presents and contents.

Diploma thesis "Social-Ethical Aspects of the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount" reflects on chapters 5 - 7 of Mathew 's Gospel. It is based on the Greek translation of the Gospel and aims to express the supertemporal prehension of Jesus' ethical requirements by a man of any century, meaning by a man of our current days too. The paper verges on biblical studies and practical and spiritual theology. Diploma thesis focuses on relation between Jesus' requirements and ancient Hebrew ethical and social norms described in Torah and updated in Old Testament Prophets' scriptures. This paper shows their cohesion but emphasizes the Jesus original approach which reveals a deeper meaning of all Torah ethical norms and rules. Following the chapters of Sermon on the Mount , it is described how St. Matthew uses this intention . Social and ethical aspects of this text are highlighted and covered by many Old Testament citations which are related to the background of Jesus' Teachings. This paper also describes basic approaches to the Sermon on the Mount interpretation and shows the reader the direction. But no final conclusion of this topic can be made as we have been dealing with the secret.

The subject of this thesis is an exegetical study on chapter thirty-eight of the book Genesis; a narrative of the story about Judah and Tamar. The thesis begins with a critical analysis of the original Hebrew text. In the second section, a critical examination of the text is undertaken using synchronous and diachronous methods, followed by a verse-by-verse commentary which includes three excursuses. The first excursus discusses levirate marriage. The second is concerned with Hebrew word הקדש and with its meaning and translation. The theme of the third excursus is the understanding of righteousness as social solidarity in the Old Testament. Subsequently, in the final section of the thesis, the reception of Genesis 38 in the Old and New Testaments is considered. Furthermore, four examples of reception and interpretation throughout Christian history are presented: The Book of Jubilees, Commentary on Genesis by Ephrem the Syrian, Martin Luther's Lectures on Genesis and an interpretation by Dorothee Sölle as an example of feminism and liberation theology. Lastly, to conclude, the application of the story is proposed, which could serve as a starting point for subsequent theological work.

O presente trabalho de pesquisa doutoral apresenta uma proposta de leitura e interpretação do Evangelho conforme Marcos, fundamentada nas teorias das Ciências da Linguagem, advindas das elaborações teóricas dos estudiosos Mikhail M. Bakhtin, Erich Auerbach e Northrop Frye e também de perspectivas das novas retóricas e da narratologia, as quais têm em comum a influência de Ernst Cassirer e sua filosofia das formas simbólicas. Segundo a concepção proposta na tese, o discurso religioso da fonte advinda do mundo antigo, que é o objeto da presente pesquisa, é estudado a partir do texto, compreendido como realidade imediata por detrás do qual não se pode sondar a realidade concreta. As investigações realizadas a partir do referencial teórico mencionado conduzem à compreensão de que o Evangelho conforme Marcos é um discurso religioso que se manifesta em linguagem popular, cujo estudo dirigido a um breve trecho de seu conteúdo (Mc 3.20-35) assim nomeado como perícope revela a subversão simbólica que pode ser descrita pelo conceito bakhtiniano de carnavalização. / The present doctoring academic research has a way of reading and interpretation of the gospel based on the Gospel of Mark, mainly based on the theories of the Sciencies of Language, which they have their origins in theorical elaborations of Mikhail M. Bakhtin, Erich Auerbach and Northrop Frye, also, this academic research is based on perspectives from new speeches and the plot theory and they have in common the influence of Ernst Cassirer and his philosophy of the symbolical forms. In the thesis, the religious discourse which comes from the ancient world, and which is the object of this research, is studied through the text, and this text is understood as an imediate reality which it is impossible to scrutiny the concrete reality beyond this text. All investigations done based on these theories lead us to the comprehension that the Gospel of Mark is a religious discourse which comes from the popular speech. This study is based on a brief part of its contents (Mk 3.20-35) and this part of the text is called an excerpt and it reveals the symbolic subversion which can be explained by the bakhtinian concept of carnivalization.

La tradition musulmane rapporte que l’une des caractéristiques les plus fondamentales du Coran est qu’il est un texte polysémique par excellence (ḥammāl dhū wujūh, porteur de plusieurs visages). Si le Coran est polysémique et que ses exégèses ne sont que des lectures possibles, il s’ensuit que ses traductions en sont également autant de lectures possibles et complémentaires. L’accumulation des traductions contribue ainsi à exprimer la polysémie du texte d’origine, même si ces traductions, dans leur diversité, restent en deçà de la diversité des exégèses.La thèse prend la sourate Al-Ḥajj comme exemple de cette problématique. Elle est articulée autour de deux axes de recherche :I. une étude de la polysémie du texte de départ.II. une étude de la polysémie du texte d’arrivée qui montre comment la traduction réduit et/ou modifie la polysémie.Le corpus est constitué de 18 traductions représentatives de toutes les tendances et de toutes les périodes de l’histoire de la traduction française du Coran depuis 1647 jusqu’à 2010.Constituant un espace clos qui évolue indépendamment de l’exégèse vers plus de littéralité, les traductions se rejoignent, se complètent, reflètent dans leur diversité avec légère modification une grande partie de la polysémie réunie et concentrée dans le texte de départ mais sporadique, éparse et dispersée dans les traductions. / According to Islamic tradition, one of the core characteristics of the Quran is that it is a polysemic text par excellence (ḥammāl dhū wujūh, bearer of several faces). To say that the Quranic text is polysemic implies that its various exegeses are as many possible readings of it, which implies in turn that its translations are also as many readings that complete each other. The accumulation of translations is thus another expression of the polysemy of the original text, even if the diversity of these translations does not match that of the exegeses.The thesis deals with the analysis of the Surah of Al-Ḥajj and it is based on two research axes:I. a study of the polysemy of the original text (Surah of Al-Ḥajj).II. A study of the polysemy of the final text (18 French translations) to show how translation reduces and/or modifies polysemy. The corpus of translations (18 translations) covers all the periods of the history of the translation of the Koran from 1647 until 2010 in order to see the evolution of the translation of the Koranic text.As a closed space that evolves independently from exegesis to more literality, the translations meet and complement each other, reflecting in their diversity with slight modification a large part of the polysemy united and concentrated in the original text but sporadic, sparse and Dispersed in the translations.

Notre recherche examine du point de vue théorique et critique l’herméneutique contemporaine et montre que toute compréhension d’un texte n’est pas nécessairement une interprétation. Notre étude modélise ensuite une approche textuelle non-herméneutique et le concept novateur de sens littéral, puis propose une méthodologie rationnelle dite Analyse Littérale du Coran permettant la résolution intratextuelle dudit sens littéral dans le Coran par le Coran. Cet algorithme prend en compte la totalité des éléments sémantiques et des rapports intratextuels et intertextuels ainsi que les limites de la mise en jeu de ces derniers. Nous avons alors réalisé l’analyse exhaustive des termes-clefs dîn et islâm dans le Coran. Les résultats obtenus diffèrent radicalement des productions connues et, outre les implications sur l’histoire du Coran et de ses liens réels avec l’Islam, ils mettent en évidence d’inédits paradigmes d’une théologie coranique inclusive et de nouvelles perspectives exégétiques. / Our research examines from a theoretical and critical point of view the contemporary hermeneutics and shows that all comprehension of a text is not necessarily an interpretation. Our study then models a textual non-hermeneutic approach and the innovative concept of the literal meaning and then proposes a rational methodology called The Literal Analysis of the Qur’ân allowing the intratextual resolution of this literal meaning in Qur’ân by the Qur’ân. This algorithm takes into account the totality of the semantic elements and the intratextual and intertextual relations as well as the limits of involving the latter. We have then made a comprehensive analysis of the key terms dîn and islâm in the Qur’ân. The results radically differ from known productions and, besides the implications on the history of the Qur’ân and its real ties with Islam, they reveal novel paradigms of an inclusive qur’anic theology and a new exegetical perspective.

Le Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim de Joseph Albo qui a pour objet la définition des principes fondamentaux du Judaïsme s’inscrit dans une réflexion qui a commencé avec Sadia Gaon, qui s’est poursuivie avec Maimonide, Gersonides, Crescas, Duran. Dans le but de permettre au lecteur de se faire sa propre opinion, nous avons souhaité présenter et traduire l’oeuvre de Joseph Albo. Traduire l’ensemble du Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim dépassant le cadre de notre projet, nous nous sommes contentés de traduire le premier traité qui présente la conception de Joseph Albo sur les principes fondamentaux et sa réduction à trois principes fondamentaux qui sont la croyance à l’existence de Dieu, la croyance à une révélation divine, et la croyance à la rétribution. Les trois traités suivant ne constituant qu’un approfondissement du premier, nous avons traduit un chapitre supplémentaire pour voir et comprendre comment Joseph Albo développe et approfondit le thème déjà ouvert dans le premier traité. C’est le troisième traité qui développe le second principe fondamental de la croyance à la révélation divine. / The Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim of Joseph Albo which try to determine the basic principles of Judaism is part of a reflection that began with Sadia Gaon, which continued with Maimonides, Gersonides and Crescas Duran. To allow the reader to form his own opinion, we wanted to introduce and translate the work of Joseph Albo. Translating the whole of the Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim exceeding the framework of our project, we simply translate the first treaty which presents the conception of Joseph Albo on fundamentals and its reduction to three fundamental principles which are the belief in the existence of God, the belief in a divine revelation, and the belief in retribution. The three following treaties being only a deepening of the first, we have translated an additional chapter to see and understand how Joseph Albo develops the theme already opened in the first treaty. This is the third treaty that develops the second fundamental principle of belief in the divine revelation.

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo estudar um comentário bíblico do franciscano Pedro de João Olivi (ca.1248-1298), intitulado Lectura super Matthaeum (leitura ou comentário sobre Mateus), capítulo 16, visando compreender os métodos interpretativos de análise adotados por esse franciscano, bem como os assuntos tratados, tais como a visão que nutria a respeito da Igreja de Roma, as críticas que fez sobre os rumos da Ordem Franciscana e a doutrina do pleno poder papal. Nesse sentido, buscamos identificar se essa doutrina aparece, e como aparece, em nossa fonte principal de estudo, discorrendo de que forma suas ideias contribuíram para abalar as estruturas eclesiásticas, além de verificar em que medida as teses por ele desenvolvidas levaram a uma real necessidade de se reformular a plenitudo potestatis papalis. / The goal masters dissertation is the analysis of Franciscan Peter John Olivis biblical comment named Lectura super Matthaeum (comment under Matthew), chapter 16. We propose to understand the method of interpretation and analysis adopted by Olivi, as well as his themes, like his perspectives about the Church of Rome, his criticism about the Franciscan Order, and the absolute papal governments doctrine. For, we search to identify if that doctrine appears and how it happens in our main source of study, and to show by which means his ideas contributed to put in check the ecclesiastical structure. We propose, also, to verify by which manner the thesis developed by Olivi conducted to a real need of reformulation of the plenitudo potestatis papalis.
