Cette thèse tente de répondre à deux questions principales : qui est le saint pour Péguy, et qu’est-ce que le saint, chez Péguy, fait au monde. Dans la première partie la réflexion est axée sur les saints (reconnus comme tels par l’Église), par, ainsi que les « saints » (selon un procédé de mise en relief littéraire, propre à Péguy) qui apparaissent dans les œuvres de Péguy. Nous tâchons d’y répondre à la question : qui est saint chez Péguy, qu’est-ce qui, selon cet auteur, fait d’un homme un saint, un Juste ? Péguy parle de figures d’exemplarité et réfléchit sur ses formes possibles : l’héroïsme, la sainteté, le génie. Il a sa propre liste de vertus (ce qui fait d’un homme un saint) qui sont parfois différentes des vertus traditionnellement attribuées aux saints catholiques. L’impact de son cheminement vers la foi sur sa philosophie de l’histoire mène Péguy vers un questionnement sur la sainteté même. C’est pourquoi la deuxième partie de cette thèse cherche la réponse à la question : que fait le saint au monde, dans le monde, pour le monde, comment le saint chez Péguy change le monde ? Il s’agit en somme de cerner le rôle de la sainteté dans le monde, y compris en tant que concept éthique revisité. Nous nous penchons aussi sur le ou les rôles que Péguy attribue au saint dans la société : solitaire parce que différent des autres humains, solidaire parce qu’agissant dans ce monde dans lequel il poursuit l’œuvre de l’Incarnation / The thesis aims at answering two main questions: Who is a saint from the point of view of Péguy. What does a saint do in the world.In the first part, the author approaches a set of questions: who is a saint? what makes a person saint or just for Péguy? To answer this, the author analyses the examples of saints in the works of Péguy, considering not only the saints recognised by church, but equally saints, specific to Péguy.Péguy portray saints as models for imitation, and he examines a diversity of forms these models could take: a saint, a hero, a genius. These «saint» created by Péguy possess a number of «virtues», sometimes radically different to those traditionally attributed to saints which makes them saint from the point of view of Péguy. Since the saint for Péguy is presented in direct connection with the world he lives in, the second part of the thesis answers the questions: what does a saint does in the world, for the the world, with the world. How a saint’s activity changes the world? In this part of the thesis, we approach the definition of the role of the sanctity in the world as imagined by Péguy. Péguy attributes two roles to a saint in the society: solitude and solidarity. A saint is lonely, because he is different from other human beings, but at the same time, a saint is united with the world in acting in the world in order to convey the incarnation, the embodiment of God in this world.For Péguy sanctity reveals itself as the new ethics instrumental in the construction of a new, harmonious city, which Péguy tries to build throughout his writings. This new ethics is supposed to revolutionise the current world, changing both morale and social paradigms

Implicit in the concepts Incarnation, narrative, Christology, Shona women of Zimbabwe today is the God who acts in human history and in the contemporaneity and particularity of our being. The Incarnation as the embodiment of God in the world entails seizing the kairos opportunity to expand the view and to bear the burdens of responsibility. A theanthropocosmic Christo logy that captures the Shona holistic world-view is explored. The acme for a relational Christology is the imago Dei!Christi and the baptismal indicative and imperative. God is revealed in various manifestations of creation. Human identity and dignity is the flipside of God's attributes. Theanthropocosmic Christology as pluralistic, differential and radical brings about a dialectic between the whole and its parts, the uniqueness of the individual, communal ontology and epistemology, the local and the universal, orthodoxy and orthopraxis, Christology and soteriology. God mediates in the contingency of particularity. Emphasis is on life-affirmation rather than sex determination of Jesus as indicated by theologies ofliberation and inculturation. At the interface gender, ethnicity, class and creed, God transcends human limitedness and artificial boundaries in creating catholic space and advocating all-embracing apostolic action. Difference is appreciated for the richness it brings both to the individual and the community. Hegemonic structures and borderless texts are view with suspicion as totalising grand-narratives and exclusivist by using generic language. The kairos in dialogue with the Incarnation is seizing the moment to expand the view and to share the burdens, joys and responsibility in a community of equal discipleship. In a hermeneutic of engagement and suspicion, prophetic witness is the hallmark of Christian discipleship and of a Christology that culminates in liberative praxis. The Christology that emerges from Shona women highlights a passionate appropriation that involves the head, gut, womb and heart and underlies the circle symbolism. The circle is the acme of Shona hospitality and togetherness in creative dialogue with the Trinitarian koinonia. The Shona Christological designation Muponesi (Deliverer-Midwife) in dialogue with the Paschal Mystery motif captures the God-human-cosmos relationship that gives a Christology caught up in the rhythms, dynamism and drama oflife. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology

Vers l’an Mille, nous lisons les premières occurrences dans lesquelles le mot Werwolf cesse d’être un anthroponyme pour désigner un homme-loup. Peu de temps après « apparaît » le mot garou. Le Moyen Âge est donc une époque charnière pour l’histoire de ce monstre. S’il n’est, bien entendu, pas question d’affirmer que le loup-garou n’existait pas avant ces premières mentions, nous nous sommes posés la question de savoir si la généralisation d’une dénomination de la créature a contribué à fixer des constantes, au-delà de la diversité des manifestations particulières du monstre. La fixation d’un nom par l’écrit, qui existait sûrement déjà dans la tradition orale, a-t-elle mené à l’élaboration d’une dimension mythique du loup-garou ? En combinant le comparatisme, les études littéraires et les cultural studies, nous avons cherché, d’un côté, à déterminer les spécificités du corpus médiéval du loup-garou, dont les garous féminins semblent, a priori, absents. De l’autre, en adoptant une perspective diachronique, nous avons tenté de dégager une unité derrière la multiplicité que nous avons recensée des cas de loup-garou, de ce montre dévorant dont l’incarnation est problématique etinstable. / Around the year 1000 AD, the word Werwolf ceased to be used as an antroponym to describe a man-wolf. Shortly afterwards, the French word garou appeared. The Middle Ages, then, constituted a turning point in the history of this monster. While werewolves had obviously existed prior to these early references, they have prompted me to enquire as to whether the generalisation of textual naming had participated in the development of a common definition of the monster which transcended the diversity of its representations. Did the recording in pen and ink of a name which had surely existed previously in the oral tradition contribute to the elaboration of the werewolf myth ? Relying on comparatism, literature and cultural studies, this thesis first seeks to explore the specificities of mediaeval werewolf literature, in which the figure of the werewolf seems to be exclusively gendered as male. Second, while recognising the incarnations of the blood-thirsty monster as problematic and unstable, this work adopts a diachronic perspective in order to reveal the commonality which underlies the multiplicity of werewolf figures.

This thesis explores and analyzes Origen of Alexandria’s conviction that Scripture is itself the enfleshed Christ, or that “in the Scriptures the Word became flesh that he might tabernacle among us” (Philoc 15.19). For Origen, Scripture as the “Word of the Lord” is identical to the Word who was “with God,” and who “was God” in the Johannine Prologue. The Word assumes flesh not only in his birth, but also through the words and phrases of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. As a result, many scholars have noted the interesting “parallel” or “analogy” Origen draws between Scripture and the Incarnation, but this study provides the first comprehensive and focused treatment of Scripture as incarnate Word in Origen’s work. Ultimately, it demonstrates that for Origen, biblical interpretation is nothing less than a direct noetic encounter with the person of Christ, allowing the reader to know him in any time or place, to see him transfigured in the movement from the letter to the spirit, and even to consume his flesh and blood. Following an introductory chapter, the project consists of two parts. Part One (Chapters Two and Three) addresses the nature of “scriptural flesh” in Origen’s work. Chapter Two seeks to articulate what it means for the Word to become “flesh” in the first place, as well as what is required to “lift the veil” and perceive that flesh as divine. By examining the role of the cross in Origen’s Christology, it demonstrates that it is only in light of the Passion, through the lens of the crucified Christ, that the divinity of both man (Jesus) and text (Scripture) is made manifest. Chapter Three looks to define this scriptural “flesh” in Origen’s thought, specifically by relying on the doctrine of the epinoiai (the “aspects” or biblical titles of Christ). It is the epinoiai that clothe Christ and give him shape through the text. Part Two (Chapters Four and Five) addresses the theological and spiritual implications for the reader and interpreter of Scripture. Chapter Four examines the “coming of Christ” (parousia) as an individualized noetic phenomenon, brought about by the Christological reading of Scripture in any time or place. Finally, Chapter Five addresses the consumption of Christ through the Scriptures, which turns out to be much more about hermeneutics than about sacramental theology. A short conclusion follows, raising some of the broader implications for Origen studies as well as for the study of early Christian biblical exegesis.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Renato Gomes Alves.pdf: 908106 bytes, checksum: ddf64732b7bc02be2ec1ffc4bc11153d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-02-21 / This dissertation contemplates an investigation into the scope and unfolding of the concept of incarnation on the theological horizon of contemporary french theologian Joseph Moingt. The object of study, the concept of incarnation, is seen with the proper look of theology, in order to contribute to respond to the challenges of contemporary times. Moingt's academic career is long and vast. Between professor and researcher, he publishes a great number of books and articles that the present research is worth as a field to be unfolded, in order to bring new understandings to christology and indicate new possibilities of action in the contemporary world. The hypothesis of research is based on the way in which Moingt presents the concept of incarnation, recovering in the evangelical narratives the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The old dogmatic formulation proves incapable of responding to the demands of evangelization of the present time. For this reason, the resumption of apostolic kerygma and the return to the announce based on resurrection show that contemporary christology needs a new foundation and new method, which should no longer be attached to the dictates of dogma, nor do they exclude the truth revealed in Christ. For this purpose, a first flight over the theological horizon of Moingt is carried out in a discursive and descriptive way, from works translated into portuguese. Next, the concept of incarnation appears as the central object of study. Fruit of the dogmatic reflection of the first centuries, the development of the idea of incarnation is seen in the unfolding of the history until arriving at the contemporaneity, where will be seen of more detailed way in the work of the french theologian. However, the best understanding of the conceptual extension will be through the practical unfolding of three specific axes: the Spirit, the Church, and the signs of the times, which denote the incarnation for the redemption of man. The results of this research point to the practice of humanization that the incarnation provides. The recovery of redemptive action, such as the promotion of full life, is the great call that systematic reflection promotes. The journey that begins with the restorative practice reveals the practical understanding of the christological dogma of the incarnation. And although in a different context, Joseph Moingt's reflection provides a return to the narrative, rich not in words, but in humanizing actions that reveal the authentic face of Jesus Christ / A presente dissertação comtempla uma investigação acerca do alcance e desdobramento do conceito de encarnação no horizonte teológico de Joseph Moingt, teólogo francês contemporâneo. O objeto de estudo, o conceito de encarnação, é visto com o olhar próprio da teologia, a fim de contribuir para responder aos desafios da contemporaneidade. A carreira acadêmica de Moingt é longa e vasta. Entre docente e pesquisador, ele publica grande número de livros e artigos que a presente pesquisa se vale como campo a ser desbravado, a fim de trazer novas compreensões para a cristologia e indicar novas possibilidades de ação no mundo contemporâneo. A hipótese de pesquisa apoia-se na maneira como Moingt apresenta o conceito de encarnação, recuperando nas narrativas evangélicas a história de Jesus de Nazaré. A antiga formulação dogmática mostra-se incapaz de responder às demandas de evangelização do tempo presente. Por essa razão, a retomada do kerygma apostólico e o retorno ao anúncio baseado na ressurreição mostram que a cristologia contemporânea precisa de novo fundamento e novo método, que não devem ser mais presos aos ditames do dogma, tampouco excludentes da verdade revelada em Cristo. Para tal feito, um primeiro sobrevoo pelo horizonte teológico de Moingt é realizado de forma discursiva e descritiva, a partir das obras traduzidas para o português. Na sequência, o conceito de encarnação aparece como objeto central de estudo. Fruto da reflexão dogmática dos primeiros séculos, o desenvolvimento da ideia de encarnação é visto no desenrolar da história até chegar na contemporaneidade, onde será vista de modo mais detalhada no trabalho do teólogo francês. No entanto, a melhor compreensão da extensão conceitual se dará pelos desdobramentos práticos feitos sobre três eixos específicos: o Espírito, a Igreja e os sinais dos tempos, que denotam a encarnação para a redenção do homem. Os resultados dessa pesquisa apontam para a prática de humanização que a encarnação proporciona. O resgate da ação redentora, como promoção de vida plena, é o grande chamado que a reflexão sistemática promove. A caminhada que se inicia com a prática restauradora, revela a compreensão prática do dogma cristológico da encarnação. E, embora em um contexto diferente, a reflexão de Joseph Moingt proporciona um retorno à narrativa, rico não em palavras, mas em ações humanizadoras que revelam o rosto autêntico de Jesus Cristo
