De l’Orient aux rivages de la mer Égée, ce volume suit l’essor fulgurant du christianisme porté par les missions, les villes-portes et les synagogues de diaspora, avec Antioche pour tremplin et l’Empire romain pour horizon. On embarque à Séleucie pour Chypre, puis vers la Pamphylie, la Galatie et la Macédoine, de Philippes à Thessalonique, avant les années décisives d’Éphèse et de Corinthe, où naissent Églises, conflits et miracles de patience.

Ce volume éclaire le moment décisif où la mémoire de Jésus devient écriture: la genèse des Évangiles, la seconde génération chrétienne et l’émergence d’une Église organisée, entre Rome, Antioche et l’Asie Mineure. En suivant l’avancée de la critique des textes, il expose comment les synoptiques se sont formés, les débats autour de la tradition johannique, et le rôle des lettres de l’arrière-saison apostolique, de Clément de Rome aux énigmatiques épîtres d’Ignace.

Dans un récit à la fois érudit et vibrant, ce premier tome suit la naissance du christianisme, de la Galilée lumineuse aux ruelles de Jérusalem, en interrogeant avec rigueur les sources évangéliques et la mémoire des premiers témoins. Entre vie de Jésus et premiers pas des apôtres, s’esquissent paysages, gestes et paroles, mais aussi la trame humaine d’un mouvement porté par des humbles capables d’inspirer une foi qui change le monde.

Au temps de Marc Aurèle, ce volume raconte l’ultime métamorphose des origines chrétiennes face au “règne des philosophes”: une Église qui se structure, une foi qui s’affirme, et un Empire façonné par l’éthique stoïcienne. Entre Forum et catacombes, se croisent réformes sociales, culte des martyrs, premières liturgies, et débats brûlants sur l’autorité des évêques, le canon et la discipline. En contrechamp, la figure lumineuse de Marc Aurèle, ses Pensées, ses réformes du droit et ses contradictions devant les martyrs, dessine une civilisation au seuil de son crépuscule antique.
