Jésus avant les Évangiles: comment les premiers chrétiens se sont rappelé, ont transformé et inventé leurs histoires du Sauveur
By 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.
