La figure de Jésus

The theologian is not primarily concerned with historical facts in themselves when treating the figure of Jesus. His reflexion works on the level of Christian faith. The story of Jesus gains greater breadth for him: it is born of the factual past, only to go beyond it and spread through the proclamation and life of the Church over the course of time. The theologian portrays Jesus without being limited to his human behaviour. He also looks for what emerges from this as traits of divinity.He sees in Him who so humanly struggled with God someone who freed himself from his historical specificity through the paschal mystery, to become the universal means of access to God. He understands how, by disappearing through the heavens of ascension, Jesus became the Lord who anonymously crosses with peoples’ lives. He believes that Jesus keeps on discreetly disquieting people everywhere, while all does not live in accordance with God.O teólogo não tem como primeira preocupação os factos históricos em si, quando trata a figura de Jesus. A sua reflexão situa-se no plano da fé cristã. A história de Jesus adquire para ele uma outra amplitude: brota do passado factual, para depois o ultrapassar e propagar-se na proclamação e na vida da Igreja através dos tempos. O teólogo retrata Jesus sem se limitar ao que nele é comportamento humano. Procura também o que deste transparece como traços de divindade. Vê naquele que tão humanamente se debateu com Deus, alguém que se libertou da sua particularidade histórica através do mistério pascal, para se converter em caminho universal de acesso a Deus. Percebe como é que Jesus, ofuscando-se nos céus da ascensão, passou a ser o Senhor que cruza anonimamente a vida das pessoas. Crê que as vai inquietando discretamente por todo o lado, enquanto não viver tudo ao ritmo de Deus

Combined dynamics of mercury and terrigenous organic matter following impoundment of Churchill Falls Hydroelectric Reservoir, Labrador

Sediments from two recently (40 years) flooded lakes (Gabbro lake and Sandgirt lake) and an unflooded lake (Atikonak lake) were sampled to investigate the effects of reservoir impoundment on mercury (Hg) and terrigenous organic matter (TOM) loading in the Churchill Falls Hydroelectric complex in Labrador, Canada. Lignin biomarkers in TOM, which exclusively derive from terrestrial vegetation, were used as biomarkers for the presence and source origin of TOM—and for Hg due to their close associations—in sediments. In the two flooded Gabbro and Sandgirt lakes, we observed drastic increases in total mercury concentrations, T-[Hg], in sediments, which temporally coincided with the time of reservoir impoundment as assessed by 210Pb age dating. In the natural Atikonak lake sediments, on the other hand, T-[Hg] showed no such step-increase but gradually and slowly increased until present. T-[Hg] increases in lake sediments after flooding were also associated with a change in the nature of TOM: biomarker signatures changed to typical signatures of TOM from vegetated terrestrial landscape surrounding the lakes, and indicate a change to TOM that was much less degraded and typical of forest soil organic horizons. We conclude that T-[Hg] increase in the sediments of the two flooded reservoirs was the result of flooding of surrounding forests, whereby mainly surface organic horizons and upper soil horizons were prone to erosion and subsequent re-sedimentation in the reservoirs. The fact that T-[Hg] was still enriched 40 years after reservoir impoundment indicates prolonged response time of lake Hg and sediment loadings after reservoir impoundments

Fin de la théologie ? Relecture d'un itinéraire

Asked to reassess his writings, the author of L'homme qui venait de Dieu and Dieu qui vient à l'homme does so in the perspective of a new way of doing theology marked by the search for a method of theological interprétation of Scripture destined to fill in the distance between dogmatic theology and exegesis and also the search for an enunciation of faith within a culture where God is absent. His writings which have take the form of a huge narrative of the God's révélation, is turned towards the «end» of theology understood as a threat of extinction, a search for its essential fînality and above ail the aim of the final point of history where «God will be ail in ail». Freed from the ruts of religion through the singularity of Jésus Christ, theology, according to the author, takes on the responsibility of thought and belief worthy of humanity.Invité à relire son itinéraire d'écriture, l'auteur de L'homme qui venait de Dieu et de Dieu qui vient à l'homme l'inscrit dans la perspective d'une nouvelle manière de faire de la théologie, marquée par la recherche d'une méthode d'interprétation théologique de l'Écriture destinée à combler la distance entre dogmatique et exégèse, et la recherche d'une énonciation de la foi au sein d'une culture où Dieu est absent. Son œuvre, qui a pris la forme du grand récit de la révélation de Dieu, est orientée vers la «fin» de la théologie comprise comme menace de son extinction, quête de sa finalité essentielle, et surtout visée du terme de l'histoire où «Dieu sera tout en tous». Libérée des ornières du religieux par la singularité de Jésus Christ, la théologie assume selon l'auteur la responsabilité d'un penser et d'un croire dignes de l'humain.Moingt Joseph.

Caractérisation de la matière organique dissoute d'un site d'eau de surface (fleuve Saint-Laurent) et d'un site d'eau souterraine (aquifère de l'Astien, France) par l'utilisation des isotopes du carbone et des produits d'oxydation de la lignine

The organic matter cycle at the continental scale still remains partly misunderstood. Thus, DOC has been mostly studied under indistinct chemical aspect. Isotopic studies and the use of biomarkers allowed the clarification of certain aspects of its cycle. The present study is part of this research perspective. Two types of environments, the St. Lawrence River and the Astien's aquifer (France), were examined. For the St. Lawrence study, we were interested in the terrigenous organic carbon (TOC) cycle from 13C and 14C measurements on DOC and a refractory fraction of DOC to understand the origin and evolution of TOC during its export towards the ocean. In the Astien study, similar approaches were used to determine the nature, sources, degradation state and temporal evolution of DOC in groundwater. Results show that we keep a predominantly terrigenous origin and a globally recent age for DOC from the St. Lawrence hydrological system. However, a small fraction of this DOC appeared to be much more ancient. The present study indicates that total DOC in the St. Lawrence hydrological system is constituted of organic compounds easily biomineralizable and thus potentially large consumers of dissolved oxygen. TOC could play a more important role than previously estimated in the apparition of hypoxic conditions in the world's estuaries and costal areas. In the Astien's aquifer system, relative kinetics of degradation of organic compounds product by lignin macromolecule could be used for geochronometrical applications.Le cycle de la matière organique à l'échelle continentale reste encore en partie méconnu. Ainsi, le COD a surtout été étudié sous un aspect chimique indifférencié. Des études isotopiques et l'utilisation de biomarqueurs ont permis d'élucider certains aspects de son cycle. La présente étude s'inscrit dans cette perspective. Deux types de milieux distincts, le fleuve Saint-Laurent et l'aquifère de l'Astien (France), ont été examinés. Dans le volet "Saint-Laurent", nous nous sommes intéressés au cycle du carbone organique terrigène (COT) à partir de mesures 13C et 14C du COD et d'une composante réfractaire du COD afin de comprendre l'origine et l'évolution du COT lors de son transit vers l'océan. Dans le second volet, les mêmes approches ont été retenues afin de déterminer la nature, les sources, l'état de dégradation et l'évolution temporelle du COD dans une nappe d'eau souterraine. Nous retenons une origine majoritairement terrigène pour le COD du Saint-Laurent, ainsi que son âge globalement très récent. Cependant, une fraction de ce COD est apparue beaucoup plus ancienne. La présente étude indique que le COD total du système hydrologique du fleuve Saint-Laurent est en majorité constitué de composés organiques facilement biominéralisables et donc potentiellement grands consommateurs d'oxygène dissous. Le COT pourrait donc jouer un rôle plus important qu'estimé aujourd'hui dans l'apparition de conditions hypoxiques dans les estuaires et zones côtières du globe. Dans le système de l'aquifère de l'Astien, les cinétiques relatives de dégradation des composés organiques issus de la macromolécule ligneuse pourraient donner lieu à des applications géochronométriques

Le problème du Dieu unique chez Tertullien

La défense de la « monarchie » divine contre les païens et les dualistes avait amené Tertullien à définir la divinité par la singularité de la grandeur souveraine (In partie). Quand les modalistes en vertu du même principe dénoncent une division de la divinité dans la distinction trinitaire, il leur répond par une double argumentation sur le statua de la puissance et de la substance divine (IIe partie).Moingt Joseph.
