C'est d'une découverte archéologique majeure la plus spectaculaire depuis les Rouleaux de la Mer morte dont il est question dans…
ce livre : celle de l'Évangile de Judas. Judas. Le traître de Gethsémani, celui qui embrassa Jésus avant de le livrer. Judas, l'homme aux trente deniers, universellement détesté. Rien de bon ne saurait venir d'un tel homme. Et pourtant... Pourtant, cet évangile présente Judas comme celui que Jésus choisit pour le livrer, en somme le plus fidèle de ses disciples ! Mais condamné comme hérétique par l'Église, ce texte du IIe siècle devait disparaître dans les oubliettes de l'Histoire... Jusqu'à aujourd'hui. -- 4e de couvLes impostures antichrétiennes: des apocryphes au Da Vinci code
Par Joseph-Marie Verlinde. 2006
Plus que jamais, le christianisme se doit de répondre aux défis qui lui sont lancés, notamment au New Age et…
aux thèses développées dans le Da Vinci Code, ou encore au gnosticisme, à l'occultisme et à la magia sexualis . Les adeptes du New Age adhèrent en effet à l'idée d'une Tradition primordiale dont les religions ne seraient que des expressions plus ou moins dévoyées. Joseph-Marie Verlinde démontre le caractère fantaisiste de cette théorie, prenant forme chez Dan Brown dans le culte à la Grande Déesse qui a supplanté le Dieu paternaliste judéo-chrétien. En déconstruisant une à une les thèses de l'écrivain américain - sur la Révélation, le mythe du Graal, la soi-disant diabolisation de la sexualité par l'Église, sa prétendue misogynie -, il nous donne les clés pour comprendre la véritable teneur de l' oeuvre de Dan Brown. Et c'est aussi pour lui l'occasion de répandre la Bonne Nouvelle pour contrer ses effets. -- 4e de couvCinquante portraits bibliques (Littérature étrangère)

Following the Good River: The Life and Times of Wa'xaid
Par Briony Penn. 2020
Based on recorded interviews and journal entries this major biography of Cecil Paul (Wa’xaid) is a resounding and timely saga…
featuring the trials, tribulations, endurance, forgiveness, and survival of one of North America’s more prominent Indigenous leaders. Born in 1931 in the Kitlope, Cecil Paul, also known by his Xenaksiala name, Wa’xaid, is one of the last fluent speakers of his people’s language. At age ten he was placed in a residential school run by the United Church of Canada at Port Alberni where he was abused. After three decades of prolonged alcohol abuse, he returned to the Kitlope where his healing journey began. He has worked tirelessly to protect the Kitlope, described as the largest intact temperate rainforest watershed in the world. Now in his late 80s, he resides on his ancestors’ traditional territory.Following upon the success of Wa'xaid's own book of personal essays, Stories from the Magic Canoe, Briony Penn's major biography of this remarkable individual will serve as a timely reminder of the state of British Columbia's Indigenous community, the environmental and political strife still facing many Indigenous communities, and the philosophical and personal journey of a remarkable man.Wa'xaid passed away at the age of 90 on December 3, 2020.Life in Two Worlds: A Coach's Journey from the Reserve to the NHL and Back
Par Ted Nolan. 2023
In 1997 Ted Nolan won the Jack Adams Award for best coach in the NHL. But he wouldn’t work in…
pro hockey again for almost a decade. What happened?Growing up on a First Nation reserve, young Ted Nolan built his own backyard hockey rink and wore skates many sizes too big. But poverty wasn’t his biggest challenge. Playing the game meant spending his life in two worlds: one in which he was loved and accepted and one where he was often told he didn’t belong.Ted proved he had what it took, joining the Detroit Red Wings in 1978. But when his on-ice career ended, he discovered his true passion wasn’t playing; it was coaching. First with the Soo Greyhounds and then with the Buffalo Sabres, Ted produced astonishing results. After his initial year as head coach with the Sabres, the club was being called the "hardest working team in professional sports." By his second, they had won their first Northeast Division title in sixteen years.Yet, the Sabres failed to re-sign their much-loved, award-winning coach.Life in Two Worlds chronicles those controversial years in Buffalo—and recounts how being shut out from the NHL left Ted frustrated, angry, and so vulnerable he almost destroyed his own life. It also tells of Ted’s inspiring recovery and his eventual return to a job he loved. But Life in Two Worlds is more than a story of succeeding against the odds. It’s an exploration of how a beloved sport can harbour subtle but devastating racism, of how a person can find purpose when opportunity and choice are stripped away, and of how focusing on what really matters can bring two worlds together.Mais d'où vient la femme de Caïn?: les récits insolites de la Bible

Par Jennifer Denetdale. 2007
In this groundbreaking book, the first Navajo to earn a doctorate in history seeks to rewrite Navajo history. Reared on…
the Navajo Nation in New Mexico and Arizona, Jennifer Nez Denetdale is the great-great-great-granddaughter of a well-known Navajo chief, Manuelito (1816-1894), and his nearly unknown wife, Juanita (1845-1910). Stimulated in part by seeing photographs of these ancestors, she began to explore her family history as a way of examining broader issues in Navajo historiography. Here she presents a thought-provoking examination of the construction of the history of the Navajo people (Diné, in the Navajo language) that underlines the dichotomy between Navajo and non-Navajo perspectives on the Diné past. Reclaiming Diné History has two primary objectives. First, Denetdale interrogates histories that privilege Manuelito and marginalize Juanita in order to demonstrate some of the ways that writing about the Diné has been biased by non-Navajo views of assimilation and gender. Second, she reveals how Navajo narratives, including oral histories and stories kept by matrilineal clans, serve as vehicles to convey Navajo beliefs and values. By scrutinizing stories about Juanita, she both underscores the centrality of women's roles in Navajo society and illustrates how oral tradition has been used to organize social units, connect Navajos to the land, and interpret the past. She argues that these same stories, read with an awareness of Navajo creation narratives, reveal previously unrecognized Navajo perspectives on the past. And she contends that a similarly culture-sensitive re-viewing of the Diné can lead to the production of a Navajo-centered history.

Tracking the Caribou Queen: Memoir of a Settler Girlhood
Par Margaret Macpherson. 2022
In this challenging memoir about her formative years in Yellowknife in the '60s and '70s, author Margaret Macpherson lays bare…
her own white privilege, her multitude of unexamined microaggressions, and how her childhood was shaped by the colonialism and systemic racism that continues today. Macpherson's father, first a principal and later a federal government administrator, oversaw education in the NWT, including the high school Margaret attended with its attached hostel: a residential facility mostly housing Indigenous children.Ringing with damning and painful truths, this bittersweet telling invites white readers to examine their own personal histories in order to begin to right relations with the Indigenous Peoples on whose land they live. Tracking the Caribou Queen is beautifully crafted to a purpose: poetic language and narrative threads dissect the trope that persisted through her girlhood, that of the Caribou Queen, a woman who seemed to embody extreme and contradictory stereotypes of Indigeneity. Here, Macpherson is not striving for a tidy ideal of "reconciliation"; what she is working towards is much messier, more complex and ambivalent and, ultimately, more equitable.Le royaume caché (Rêve et vie)
Par Éloi Leclerc. 1987
Eloi Leclerc, bien connu par ses ouvrages sur François d'Assise, introduit le lecteur dans une nouvelle et bouleversante découverte de…
l'Évangile. Au seuil de la jeunesse, l'auteur est passé, dans les camps de la mort, par l'épreuve du silence de Dieu. Devenu particulièrement sensible à l'immensité de la détresse qui peut submerger les hommes, une question le poursuit : dans la nuit de la mort où Dieu se tait, quelle espérance l'Évangile peut-il encore apporter ? En méditant les évangiles, l'auteur cherche à rencontrer un visage, une présence. " L'homme qui annonce au monde la tendresse de Dieu pour la terre a connu l'expérience la plus crucifiante de l'absence de Dieu. La révélation de Dieu en Jésus se fait au cœur même de la condition humaine la plus abandonnée." La vérité de l'Évangile tient à la profondeur de cette expérience de Jésus. L'auteur en est convaincu. Et sa lecture des grandes pages des évangiles, qui se distingue par la justesse exégétique et par une émouvante sobriété de ton, en porte la marque, comme s'il conviait le lecteur à un sérieux inhabituel, à une attention extrême, pour rencontrer Jésus. Ce livre, qui laisse deviner un voyage intérieur, s'adresse aux femmes et aux hommes de ce temps qui, de tant de manières, font l'épreuve de l'absence et du silence de Dieu.Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls
Par Angela Sterritt. 2023
"A remarkable life story.... Angela Sterritt is a formidable storyteller and a passionate advocate." (Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow…
Thieves) "Sterritt's story is living proof of how courageous Indigenous women are." (Tanya Talaga, author of Seven Fallen Feathers and All Our Relations) In her memoir, Angela Sterritt shares her story from navigating life on the streets to becoming an award-winning journalist. As a teenager, she wrote in her notebook to survive. Now, she reports on cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, showing how colonialism and racism create a society where Indigenous people are devalued. Unbroken is a story about courage and strength against all odds.This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971…
to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important, but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school, Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions related to history, ideology, and archaeology, on the one hand, and text and canon, on the other, as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time, this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies.The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress, and Equality
Par Glen Scrivener. 2022
Discover the Christian roots of the values we prize in western society. TGC and Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Winner…
in Evangelism & Apologetics. Is Christianity history? Or is Christian history the deepest explanation of the modern world? Today in the west, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted and responsible for many of society's problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes readers on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe. As author Glen Scrivener says in his introduction: "The extraordinary impact of Christianity is seen in the fact that we don't notice it". This is a book for both believers and sceptics-giving Christians confidence to be open about their faith and showing non-Christians the ways in which the message of Jesus makes sense of their most cherished beliefs. Whoever you are, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the values you hold dear as you discover the power and profundity of Jesus and his revolution.Timeless Truths Bible: One faith. Handed down.
