Chrétiens en terre d'Iran VI: Les liens du sol

Images du pouvoir et identités des chrétiens sous Khusro Ier

L'avènement de Khusro Ier (531-579) a marqué une période brillante dans l'histoire du Moyen-Orient tant les orientations prises furent décisives. Durant le demi-siècle de ce règne, dont la politique religieuse fut éminemment contrastée, les diverses communautés chrétiennes de l'empire sassanide se sont développées entre conflits culturels et stratégies. L'étude de ce microcosme spatio-temporel révèle leur dynamisme et confirme leur profond investissement dans la société iranienne, qui s'exprime en une adaptation aux évolutions administratives et aux influences extérieures mais aussi, en même temps, en une capacité de réorganisation interne et en un puissant renouveau spirituel. Une évolution qui se fit parfois au défi de l'identité. Un demi-siècle de l'Antiquité tardive qui façonna de manière décisive l'histoire des mentalités des communautés chrétiennes en territoire iranien.

The advent of Khusro I (531-579) heralded a brilliant period in the history of the Middle East, during which decisive directions were taken. Throughout his reign of almost fifty years, a period during which this king pursued an ambivalent religious policy, the different Christian communities of the Sasanian Empire developed between cultural conflicts and strategies. The study of this spatio-temporal microcosm reveals their dynamism and confirms their deep investment in Iranian society, that expressed an adaptation to administrative changes and external influences, but also, simultaneously, a capacity for internal reorganization and a powerful spiritual renewal. This development sometimes took place at the expense of identity. It was a half-century of Late Antiquity that decisively shaped the history of the mentalities of the Christian communities in Iranian territory.
