Guerre sainte (La): LA FORMATION DE L'IDEE DE CROISADE DANS L'OCCIDENT CHRETIEN

Rate this book
Jean Flori dedica questo studio alla trasformazione ideologica che porta il pensiero cristiano dalla originaria nonviolenza alla una trasformazione lenta, iniziata già al tempo della cristianizzazione dell'impero romano, ma avvenuta soprattutto nel X e XI secolo, fra Carlo Magno e la prima crociata. Flori mette in luce come attraverso la difesa armata dei possedimenti della Chiesa, tanto i singoli monasteri e le chiese quanto i territori papali, la guerra venga a poco a poco sacralizzata, poi come prenda corpo una demonizzazione dei musulmani che risponde allo spirito della "reconquista" spagnola e quindi come nasca infine la "guerra santa" contro gli infedeli.

The Holy War : How the idea of Crusade has been developped in Western Christendom?

Jaw-dropping to see how soon and how efficiently the Clergy managed to channel violence to their own profit. Edifying indeed...

Also, in my opinion, Jean Flori asks the good questions yet he comes up short in delivering a "thrifty" discourse and turns out dry and repetitive.


SUMMARY :
Chapter 1 : Crusade, pilgrimage and holy war
Chapter 2 : The Christian Empire
Chapter 3 : From God's peace to the crusade?
Chapter 4 : The Saints Holy violence
Chapter 5 : From warlike saints to saintly warriors
Chapter 6 : Under Saint Peter's banner
Chapter 7 : Gregor VII and the Emancipation of the Church
Chapter 8 : Christians and pagans : demonizing the enemies of Christendom before 1000 a.D.
Chapter 9 : Holy War and Christian reconquest after 1000 a.D.
Chapter 10 : From Holy War to the Crusade
Conclusion : Holy War, jihad and Crusade.

C'est intéressant de voir comment, très tôt, et avec quelle réussite les autorités religieuses régulières et séculières ont détourné la violence à leur profit. Édifiant, dans un sens...

Malheureusement, s'il sait poser les bonnes questions, Jean Flori est particulièrement redondant.
