Abstract

C’est dans la dynamique de l’avènement du Royaume et de la manifestation de l’Esprit Saint qui l’accompagne qu’il convient de comprendre l’attitude de Jésus à l’endroit de l’impureté et sa relative indifférence à ce qui touche à la loi rituelle. Là où se manifeste la radicale nouveauté que représente l’irruption du Royaume, émerge une nouvelle compréhension tant de l’espace que de la responsabilité humaine. La sainteté vient envahir la sphère profane ; elle désenclave l’espace, ce qui modifie radicalement le rapport à l’impureté. De cette prise de possession gracieuse de l’espace par la sainteté, résulte, en retour, une exigence éthique. Jesus’ attitude towards impurity and his relative indifference concerning the ritual law are to be understood in the context of the dynamics of the coming Kingdom and of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Wherever the radical newness of the imminent Kingdom comes to light, one can see a new understanding both of space and of human responsibility. Holiness invades the secular sphere and opens up space, which brings about a radical change in the attitude towards impurity. In return, this gracious occupation of space by holiness results in high ethical standards
