Chers amis,
Pour la préparation de mon diatessaron des évangiles j'ai consulté mon exemplaire du NT de Curt Stage en allemand.
Il dit en Jean 1:1 "selbst göttlichen wesens" c. à d. "lui-même (un) être divin".
Et en cherchant qui était ce charmant monsieur je suis tombé sur une page de défence de la foi mormone.
Voici une très intéressante liste de version qui rendent Jean 1:1 dans un sens non trinitaire pour peu qu'il en existe un.
Je reste persuadé que le prologue de Jean est une hymne, un poème en rime, quelque chose de pieu et non une exégèse.
