Full textThe goal of this thesis is to study the confrontation between violence and truth in the revelation of john, as portrayed by the symbolic couple of the sword and word that appear in the mouth of christ, son of man. This confrontation is the mystery to be deciphed in examining the possibility of violence to be converted by truth as is the sword by the word. In the first section this theme is studied in relation to the book as a whole in the second section, the central personnage, jesus-christ, is seen in his three contradictory manifestations : son of man, lamb and "word of god" as well as king and judge. His power is illustrated by the couple of sword-word, enriched by spatial and temporal correspondances. The third section concerns the re-reading considered as a double act of comprehension and conversion. Initiated by the author of the revelation himself, his re-interpretation is renewed by each reader-auditor and actualised by contemporary events. It thus has the specific potential to link the present at once to the past and to the future and therefore to disengage the events from their particularity and contingence and to give them an umtimate and universal solution. This promised solution is based in the voctory of lamb and his followers. The victory offers a pledge of general renewal in spite of the domination of evil. The hope will be fully realized only in the future (the eschaton). It consists in the reducing of the sword into word likewise of negative violence into a "violence" of truth

Full textThis thesis aims to analyze some biblical passages of the book of Exodus, especially situated between chapters 4-14, from the theoretical framework of magicreligious symbolism. To achieve this purpose, we will divide our research into four parts. First, we will seek to understand the meaning of the symbol, as well as its importance to the Hebrew Bible as a whole and especially to the book of Exodus. Second, we will discourse about the meaning of magic and religion, we will cover the main anthropological and sociological theories about it and then we justify the use of the compound term magical-religious in our research. Third, we will discuss on the phenomenon of the magical-religious in the Hebrew Bible. Finally, in fourth and last place, with the help of magical-religious symbolic instrumental previously constructed, we will present our translation and its exegesis of some excerpts from the book of Exodus, ranging from chapters 4 to 14. For this, we will base on the Hebrew Masoretic text present in the standard critical edition of the Tanakh, that is, the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, edited by Karl Elliger and Wilhelm Rudolph, which is currently in its fifth edition revised. With this work we intend to contribute to the studies concerning the Hebrew Bible and especially the book of Exodus.

Full textThe existence of the poet Karl Wolfskehl is characterised by the feeling of a double identity, for he is both Jewish and German. The two decisive moments of his poetic vocation are his meeting in 1897 with Stefan George, one of the leaders of German symbolism; he became his faithful friend and devoted disciple. This encounter allowed him to consider his poems as precious material, with no other goal than language per se. The second point is that, due to the outcome of Nazism in Germany in 1933, he had to exile himself to Italy then to New-Zealand, where he stayed until his death in 1948. This exile is at the root of an unprecedented existential crisis and of a renewal in his writing: from a quest of formal perfection he reaches a religious poetry anchored in Judaism assimilated to the persona of Job. The whole work is infused with a mystical tone. Our research aims to try to account for the relationship between poetry and religion in order to characterize the poetic art of the author. We focus on the evolutions of the notion of prophecy in the work of Wolfskehl, so as to deal with both the holderlinian heritage of poeta vates and that of the biblical prophets (Nebiim). By concentrating on the dialogical principle (Buber) and by interpreting the way the literary work transforms the symbols of the Kabbala (Scholem), we will show that the poems are the scene of a dialectic confrontation between the human and the divine, which reveals a hermeneutic of suffering. From a philosophical and historical point of view, we question the identification of the poet with Job in so far as Wolfskehl’s poetry reflects the excess of evil (Nemo) while allowing to interpret the destiny of the Jewish people (Susman)

"Rachel et Léa - entre tradition et contemporanéité : représentation des deux matriarches de la Bible à la société juive contemporaine en France et en Israël, au fil du Tamuld de Babylone, du Midrach Rabba du commentaire de Rachi et du Zohar." Paris, EHESS, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009EHES0152.
Full textThe thesis consists of a thematic exploration of six sources -five textual and one oral. The textual sources are among the most influential in the Jewish tradition: the Bible, the Babylonian Talmud, Midrash Rabba, Rashi’s commentary on the Bible, and the Zohar. As for the Oral source, it consists of interviews with French and Israeli Jews, examining representations of Rachel and Lea's figures. This work addresses initially roles of the two matriarchs in the fundamental texts of the Jewish tradition it next presents study of the development of the biblical story through time and texts. After analysing recurrences of different themes of Rachel and Leah in the various sources, it then examines differences and modifications of these themes, in. Order to understand the reason and meaning of their modifications. It further inquire through interviews about the kinds of images associated with the figures of Rachel and Leah today, how they are perceived, the places they occupy in the interviewee's life, and whether they are considered part of a distant past or relevant today. Finally, it compare between the roles of the two matriarchs in contemporary Jewish society and their role in the textual sources of the Jewish tradition

Full textThe manuscript of the Bible moralisee to which this study is partly dedicated, is located in the Treasury of the Toledo cathedral chapter in Spain. This study deals also with the duplicate copy which was realized soon afterwards. The interpretation and illustrations of the verses vary in number according to the books of the Bible. Though being one of the smallest biblical books, the Song of Solomon is given outstanding consideration, more than any other book in the Bible. The central theme--the espousal of the Bride and the Bridegroom, Christ and Ecclesia being its allegory--enjoyed a considerable success in medieval theology. It corresponded to the courtly love atmosphere of its time. Abundant commentary literature and the development of mariology made this book even more popular. About a quarter of the commentary illustrations are dedicated to the theme Christus-Ecclesia. Ecclesia, always crowned, holds the chalice which confirms her sacramental significance. In no other known iconographical medieval programme has Ecclesia such a position.
The question raised by the problematic around this Bible is the eventual intention being at the origin of this order which, without any doubt, emanates from French royalty. Has it been produced to enhance the prestige of royalty? Is it a pedagogical work intended for the education of the royal children? Was it meant to be a royal political gift? The Ecclesia theme in the Bible is the exaltation of, or an hommage to the Church, spiritual or temporal, by the French royalty of the thirteenth century.

Gadeyne, François. "Symbolisme de l’Apparition de Léon Bloy, confluent littéraire, historique et spirituel." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040034.
Full textSymbolism of the Apparition of Leon Bloy is at the origin of his whole work. The shadows of our knowledge about the genesis and the writing of this text require light on the historical factors of this unfinished project and the influences received by the author. The tutelary figure of father Tardif de Moidrey exerts on him the most important influence, in addition to Ernest Hello and Anne -Marie Roulé. A historical research helps to enlighten the reasons for his profound influence on Bloy and the guidelines of his thoughts on a few major themes : a genealogical view of history, the reference to the Middle Ages, the repair through sacrifice and the hope of the « return » of the Jews and of the fulfillment of the prophecies. The authority of the Summa Theologica brings to these themes a philosophical basis, and the cult of Mary gathers them all. Tardif has transmitted to Bloy the idea of applying the symbolic exegesis to the apparitions of the Virgin. This exegesis itself is interpreted in an historical perspective, as well as the Mariology, that Symbolism of the Apparition reflects and extends

Full textPresently the video game industry uses a number of methods to lead the players though the games such as colours, lights and shapes. This thesis focuses on shapes and tries to answer the question: In choosing between basic symbols is there a particular symbol that players prefer tofollow and what do they associate with that symbol? In order to answer this question we created an experiment in which we tested how test subjects respond to three primitive shapes, triangles, circles and squares. The experiment consisted of a corridor with a door in one end, acting as the controls tutorial, and a room with three doors which was the actual experiment. Our test shows that there is not a certain symbol that the test subjects prefer to follow, but that the associations to the symbols seem to be true in comparison to earlier made studies on what these symbols are viewed to represent. This points at the possibility that the symbols can be used in game design to convey messages to the players and be used to guide the players in new environments.

Full textHow can the Bible use such expressions as “bride” about the Church, or “Bridegroom” about God or Christ? How can we understand these? We had to precise the original meaning of “symbol”. Bible then shows how Christ, becoming one with the Church, have an impact on every single human marriage. However, this study also revealed how strange the present non-symbolic reading of the bible could be. How did this happen? The Church Fathers were well aware of symbolic. Ef 5 was a sufficient base to establish marriage’s holiness. Why then did it fade? We give some hypothesis. It’s only with the prophetic openings of Paul VI and John Paul II’s pontifical teaching that we could find some symbolic traces. On the other side, the “real symbol”’s tool, well understood, showed its efficiency to qualify these openings. This research allowed us to clarify John Paul II’s theology of the body’s biblical foundations, especially to ascertain the new efficiency Christ brought to the marriage
