The unpardonable according to Matthew: the necessary admonition before pardoning
Type de matériel :
75
The terminology of pardon is scattered unequally over the books of the New Testament. It is absent in the Letters of Paul and pardon is not a necessary notion in his writings to proclaim the Gospel. Following the apostle, Matthew sees human existence in the new light of the Way of the Cross, and reflects upon what pardoning means. He deploys his thinking in four passages (Mt 6,9-15 ; 9,1-8 ; 12,31-32 ; 18,15-35) in order to depict pardon understood as a transforming and liberating event, and unpardonable understood as a necessary warning.
