et Klondike québécois , selon la formule de François Ruph reprise par l'historien Benoît-Beaudry Gourd. On dit qu'il y sévit des froids à couper les loups en deux. On dit que gisent au fond du lac Témiscamingue assez de chevaux pour peupler les écuries d'un village entier. La région de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue semble superbement méconnue. Pourtant, ce pays aux confins de l'histoire a tant à raconter, tant à montrer.

raconte comment deux hommes, essentiellement, Paul et Luc, ont transformé une petite secte juive refermée autour de son prédicateur crucifié sous lempereur Tibère et quelle affirmait être le messie, en une religion qui en trois siècles a miné lEmpire romain puis conquis le monde et concerne aujourdhui encore le quart de lhumanité.

Cest une évocation tumultueuse, pleine de rebondissements et de péripéties, de personnages hauts en couleur. Mais Le Royaume cest aussi, habilement tissée dans la trame historique, une méditation sur ce que cest que le christianisme, en quoi il nous interroge encore aujourdhui, en quoi il nous concerne, croyants ou incroyants, comment linvraisemblable renversement des valeurs quil propose (les premiers seront les derniers, etc.) a pu connaître ce succès puis cette postérité...
