Jésus le dit : la Parabole du Semeur est à la base de son enseignement. Elle reprend à mots couverts la confession de foi juive appelée « Ecoute Israël » : Tu aimeras ton Dieu : de tout ton cœur, de toutes tes forces, de toute ton âme. Nous pouvons aussi l’interpréter avec les mots de l’apôtre Paul comme une illustration de la vie chrétienne par la foi, l’espérance et l’amour. Quand nous conjuguons les approches juive et chrétienne, nous comprenons mieux ce que Jésus considérait comme la condition indispensable à la réception et au déploiement du Royaume de Dieu.

Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450 pound Bengal tiger.

Dialogues on Revelation with John the Apostle presents an imagined dialogue between the author and John the apostle, who just received a revelation from the Lord Jesus. Is it possible to know what John might have answered to some of our questions about the book of Revelation? It is possible since we have John’s Gospel, three of his epistles, and the Old and New Testaments. Would we receive the answers from John that we hope for or expect? Would we want more answers or different answers? I don’t doubt that this will be the case, for, as the apostle Paul exclaims, “Oh the depth of the ...
