De la parenté d'auteur(s) à la ‘mémoire générationnelle’ (P. Nora): l’œuvre de Luc et les lettres pastorales en relation

Abstract

AbstractOn the basis of Pierre Nora's theory of generations, this article re-examines the relationship between Luke's work and the so-called ‘Pastoral Letters’. From this perspective, informed by the sociology of memory, the article analyses the affinities between these two traditions not as the traces of a community of author(s), but rather as the expressions of a memorial consciousness under construction: that of a foundational past identified with the generation of the apostles.
