| Summary: | While making use of John Churchill’s work, this paper offers a Wittgensteinian analysis of a central religious picture of the Roman Catholic Mass. Thus, it investigates the aesthetical, functional, structural and relational dimensions of the expression 'Christ’s blood'. By attempting to describe what Christian believers do and say, I intend to demonstrate how a Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion can work. At the same time, I hope to prepare the way for philosophical theology. Tout en s’appuyant sur les travaux de John Churchill, cet article propose une analyse wittgensteinienne d’une image religieuse centrale de la messe catholique romaine. Ainsi, il examine les dimensions esthétiques, fonctionnelles, structurelles et relationnelles de l’expression «Sang du Christ». En essayant de décrire ce que les fidèles chrétiens font et disent, l’auteur cherche à démontrer comment une philosophie wittgensteinienne de la religion peut fonctionner. En même temps, il espère préparer la voie pour une théologie philosophique. |
