Par Bart D Ehrman, Jean-Pierre Prêvost. 2017
Mais comment a-t-on transmis le souvenir de Jésus ? Qui étaient les premiers témoins oculaires ? Quelles chaînes de transmission…
ont permis aux rédacteurs des évangiles d'écrire leurs textes, près d'un siècle après la mort de Jésus ? Le travail de B. Ehrman met l'accent sur la critique textuelle du Nouveau Testament, le Jésus historique et l'évolution du christianisme primitif. Avec ce dernier livre, qui s'est vendu à des milliers d'exemplaires aux États-Unis en 2016, l'auteur propose audacieusement de s'interroger le rôle et le fonctionnement de la mémoire, à la fois individuelle et collective, pour comprendre la construction, voire l'invention, de la figure de Jésus comme sauveur. Il s'appuie pour cela sur les meilleures études scientifiques contemporaines sur la mémoire et sur une profonde connaissance des textes antiques, chrétiens et apocryphes. Ce livre est écrit comme une enquête policière : quelles traces avons-nous du personnage Jésus ? Quelles preuves historiques ? Comment évaluer les témoignages dont nous disposons ? 2017.

les grandes questions de la vie, celles que tous se posent et auxquelles on voudrait tant trouver des réponses satisfaisantes.

ont eu à subir ses tentations et ses assauts. C'est leur histoire, leur combat et, souvent, leur victoire que raconte ce livre. D'Antoine le Grand à Padre Pio, de François d'Assise à Thérèse d'Ávila, de Catherine de Sienne au curé d'Ars, les plus grands ont témoigné qu'il ne s'agissait ni de superstition populaire ni d'hallucination. À travers leurs épreuves, ces figures exemplaires ont aussi indiqué les remèdes et les armes pour contrer les attaques du Diable et triompher de lui. À une époque qui ne croit plus guère en Dieu ni au Malin, et qui rejette tout phénomène surnaturel, voici un essai érudit et passionnant, qui rappelle la réalité de Satan. 2016.In the beginning there was darkness: a blind person's conversations with the Bible
