Resumen
À l’instar de nombre de ses prédécesseurs, Hilaire de Poitiers ne fut pas indifférent à la richesse des motifs christologiques de la figure de David. Roi, prophète et berger, David prend sa place dans l’histoire du salut entre Adam et Christ en tant que représentation de l’humanité qui cherche la réconciliation avec Dieu. En le choisissant parmi ses frères et en le préférant à Saül, en lui donnant l’onction, Dieu lui confère une place centrale dans l’histoire et le charge de la mission d’anticiper le royaume du Christ et d’être un réceptacle du Saint-Esprit qui annonce le mystère pascal et le salut de l’humanité. En transcendant l’image traditionnelle de simple préfiguration du Christ ou de prophète du Messie, le roi d’Israël parvient dans la théologie d’Hilaire à un niveau supérieur de développement et de complexité en devenant également le héraut des chrétiens qui, moyennant l’onction du baptême, sont intégrés dans la mission de Dieu et deviennent cohéritiers de son Royaume.
Like many others before him, Hilary of Poitiers was not indifferent to the wealth of Christological motifs in the figure of David. As king, prophet and shepherd, David has his place in the history of Salvation between Adam and Christ, as a representation of humanity seeking reconciliation with God. By choosing him among his brothers and preferring him to Saul, by anointing him, God gives him a central place in history and gives him a mission: to anticipate the Kingdom of Christ and be a vessel of the Holy Spirit that announces the Paschal mystery and the salvation of mankind. By transcending the traditional image of a mere prefiguration of Christ or prophet of the Messiah, the king of Israel reaches a fuller level of development and complexity in Hilary’s theology by also becoming the herald of Christians who, being anointed through baptism, are integrated into God’s mission and become joint heirs of His Kingdom.
