Pour une identité narrative de Jésus (à suivre)
No full textIn order to overcome the dilemma between «the historical Jésus and the Christ of the faith», between the «historical identity» and the «dogmatic identity» of Jésus, the author suggests here the formulation of a «narrative identity» of Jésus. This third path towards an identification of Jésus («Whom do y ou say that I am ? ») is established on the basis of the phenomenology of narrative and the hermeneutics of identity through which philosophy, and hence dogmatic theology and reflexive Christology corne to agrée with the recent discoveries of narrative theology and literary exegesis. The first part of the article is devoted to the quest for this narrative identity ; the second part (which will be published in the next issue) is devoted to the invention of this narrative identity.Gesché Adolphe.

Active school of Adolphe Ferrière
No full textThe paper presents views of Adolphe Ferrière, a Swiss educator and psychologist and a Professor at the "Jean-Jacques Rousseau" Institute, about active school - one of the "new school" movements that emerged in the first half of 20th century as a countermove to traditional school founded on Herbartian conception of education. Condemning old school’s intellectualism and verbalism, active school turns towards a child, his nature, needs and interests, and declares activity, "child’s self-work", the basic principle of education. The paper points out Ferrière’s contributions to the transformation of "learning school" into "working and activity school". After presenting Ferrière’s criticism of traditional school as well as a number of "new school" movements, the author provides in more detail essential features of active school. Ferrière’s argumentation against attempts to identify active school with "handwork school" and against tendencies to make it equal with "active methods" is herein presented. Also, the author elaborates why Ferrière turns down the objection that active school neglects intellectual education and why he does not accept pragmatic qualifications of active school. Consideration is given to the demands of active school for teacher education i.e. characteristics that a "new school" teacher should possess as required by Ferrière
'Within the Storm' poem
No full textAdolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer, and author, wrote this poem titled "Within the Storm" and dedicated it to President-elect Warren G. Harding. The poem describes an America broken from World War I, and portrays Harding as a hero who will lead the country to peace and prosperity.
This poem is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
L'agonie de la résurrection ou la descente aux enfers
No full textProvided that cosmological representations are maintained and interpreted within «hermeneutical distance» they constitute a way of expressing the events offaith. Thus, the theme of Jésus' s Descent to Hell allows us to understand that the Résurrection is only obtained at the end of a burden- some struggle which does not come to an end with the Crucifixion alone. It is with this meaning that we have tried to speak of the Cross as being an «agony», a combat (agôn), which continues «for three days», a combat which Jésus undertook since his public ministery until his death. The «agony» finishes this time in the glory of victory, but a victory which is unlikely to appear as a magical miracle (which it is not).Gesché Adolphe.

L'identité de l'homme devant Dieu
No full textMight God not be a threat to mankind's autonomy ? Today some end up by thinking that affirming God's existence is not only a mistake (this was the formulation mode by atheism) but even an error (which would be antitheism' s formulation). However can one be so sure that autonomy does not run the risk of tautology without there being the suggestion of a Third Party and in particular a Transcendent Third party ? To be sure not an incandescent absolute but rather a figure of kenosis. «It is not certain that immanence is the supreme grace» (Levinas).Gesché Adolphe. L'identité de l'homme devant Dieu.

La création : cosmologie et anthropologie
No full textSince the 1960' s, theology has taken on a clearly anthropocentric character. The neglect of this décisive évolution is excluded : God is above ail the God of mon and for mon. In this article, the author pleads nonetheless for a revival of a theology of création, and especially its cosmological dimension. Infact, it is possible that the central concern of a theology oriented by an ethical préoccupation may be endangered by an excessive concentration on mon. Mon needs more thon himself as horizon and vis-à-vis. For this, he must rediscover in his God a God who is not the mère glorified reflection of himself but one who is the Lord of the universe. Furthermore, he needs a cosmos which is restituted as the place necessary to situate himself and to identify himself as in his own house. If in addition, one recognizes the renewed importance which the natural sciences and their project of a «new covenant» (Progogine and Stengers) hâve taken as well as the concern of Process Theology for a God involved with his création, the goal of the présent article to show why and how to develop a theology of cosmos shall be better understood.Gesché Adolphe.
