Vincent Holzer, « Une christologie de la Gestalt eschatologique : Les nouvelles possibilités qu'offrent les récits de miracles pour l'auto-compréhension de Jésus et de son ministère », Recherches de Science Religieuse, ID : 10670/1.n46b10
As Duméry emphasized, miracle must not depart from the ‘theological topic’ if it does not want to ‘stray into the terrain of a false science’. The ‘gospel’ genre certainly integrates thaumaturgy, but it also includes its correcting scheme and its ‘compensating theme’, the ‘believing without seeing’ (Jn 20,29) which ‘acts as a reducer of any adhesion due to proof, of all faith based on simple observation’. Meier seems to neglect this counter-proof, which is nonetheless instructive and probably decisive for elucidating the identity of the Messiah and the eschatological prophet Jesus.Highlighting the ‘miracle tradition’ also at times gives the impression that the confession of faith is secondarized, as if the Pascal theme were interfering as a component that could be detached from the narrative in favor of the healing act which lends truth and confirms the result, associating the well established historicity of miracle tradition and the Christology sui generis which flows from it. However, miracle cannot be isolated as an act of power and transgression left to the discretion of the divine. Christology and thaumatury are in no way separable. Thus, the second can be reduced to its immediate critical principle, the person of Jesus who assumes this function in a unique way.
