La "résurrection" en Marc 16,1-8: entre récit et théologie

Il n’existe pas une manière unique pour la théologie de se laisser instruire par le texte biblique : autant de théologiens que de modes divers de tenir compte de la Bible (ou de l’ignorer !). Nous proposons dans cet atelier d'abord une lecture narrative de la finale de Marc qui tient compte des thèmes principaux du premier évangile: le mystère messianique, l'incompréhension des disciples, la caractérisation paradoxale de Dieu. Ainsi nous découvrons la singularité de ce message dans le contexte du judaïsme du second temple et des autres évangiles. Ensuite nous posons la question de savoir ce que le récit marcien de la découverte du tombeau vide peut apporter à l'intelligence de la résurrection

The Indecent Theology of Marcella Althaus-Reid as a Continuation of the theology of Liberation

The Indecent Theology is a continuation of liberation theology when it focuses on the victims of injustice, makes use of socio-analytical mediation to understand, and identify the structures of oppression in society. The heterosexuality is denounced as an ideology and Christianity reinforced this alliance of heterosexual gods built on continents such as Latin America. Hence, it is possible to find God, doing theology, when the theologian leaves those places to take a position in more vulgar, dirty places, and uncivilized places of public sexual life: bedrooms, bars, and alleys. The Althaus-Reid’s project maintains that liberation theology must be understood as a continuous process of recontextualization, the permanent exercise of deep doubting in theology

Language, Grammar and a Map

The presentation will discuss new modes of understanding religious truth-claims based on George Lindbeck’s conceptualization of dogma in terms of language rules. In the first part of the presentation, I will present structuralist and post-structuralist view on language and semiotics and their implications on understandings of religious discourse. In the second part of the presentation, I will then cover Lindbeck’s way of presenting religious dogmas in a non-relativistic way, which is nevertheless open to new contextual developments. Finally, I will discuss basic challenges to his approaches, primarily the internal heterogeneity of religious discourse and overt emphasis on cognition and language
