Description
Summary:Formal features permit the discernment of a hymn composed of two four-line strophes in Col 1:15-20. By additions which turned the logic of its author(s) against them, Paul transformed the hymn into a formidable weapon in his struggle to ensure that the earthly activity of Christ was recognized. Des caractéristiques formelles permettent de discerner en Col 1:15-20 un hymne composé de deux strophes de quatre lignes. En amplifiant l'hymne primitif, Paul a retourné contre son auteur (ses auteurs) sa (leur) propre logique. Il a ainsi transformé l'hymne en une arme redoutable dans la lutte qu'il menait pour assurer la reconnaissance de l'activité terrestre du Christ.
