| Résumé : |
Immediately after the Gospels, the New Testament takes up the history of the early Christian Church, describing the works of the twelve disciples, and introducing Paul, the man whose influence on the history of Christianity is beyond calculation. Teacher, preacher, conciliator, diplomat, theologian, rule-giver, consoler, and martyr, his life and writings became foundations for Christianity. Paul inspired a vast, serious, and intelligent literature that seeks to recapture his meaning, his thinking, and his purpose.
In his letters to early Christian communities, Paul gave much practical advice about organization and orthodoxy. The letters treated the early Christian communities as something more than a group of people who shared the same faith: they were people bound together by a common spirit. The significance of that common spirit would occupy the greatest of Christian theologians from Athanasius and Augustine through Luther and Calvin. In The Mysticism of Paul the Apostle Albert Schweitzer goes against Luther and the Protestant tradition to look at what Paul actually writes in the Epistles to the Romans and Galatians about the personal experience of the believer with the divine. Paul’s mysticism was not like the mysticism elsewhere described as a soul being at one with God. In the mysticism he felt and encouraged, there is no loss of self but an enriching of it; no erasure of time or place but a comprehension of how time and place fit within the eternal. Schweitzer writes that Paul’s mysticism is especially profound, liberating, and precise. Typically, Schweitzer introduces readers to his point of view at once, then describes in detail how he came to it, what its scholarly antecedents were, what its implications are, what objections have been raised to it, and why all of this matters. |
