  1. 1. Théologie De L'histoire

    A reflective study of the Christian understanding of history that explores how theological categories—providence, eschatology, sin and grace—have shaped interpretations of historical events and temporal direction. It examines the tension between divine sovereignty and human freedom, critiques purely deterministic or secular accounts of the past, and argues for a responsible historico-theological reading that preserves both scholarly rigor and the moral, salvific meaning history holds for faith communities. The work aims to show how faith and historical consciousness can inform one another, orienting hope and ethical action in the face of contingency and change.
