Abstract:
Protestant interpretations of Judaism tend to put the emphasis on its spiritual dimension and to favour time over space. Thus Judaism’s specific role is to stand like a prophetic and critical bulwark against the pagan quest for soil and land. When the State of Israel was founded, a broad spectrum of Protestant stances emerged. In the wake of the 1967 war, the tensions between a theology of Israel and a theology of human rights increased. Official declarations of the Churches reflect the controversies. We examine how Paul Tillich’s mind was changed through the long friendship with Martin Buber. According to the analysis proposed by Jean-Claude Eslin, the « krasis » provoked by the advent of Christianity explains its two-thousand year old disagreement with Judaism. Yet the category of « parousia » stretches the expectation of Christ into time and the unaccomplished. The critical principle of Protestantism implies its complement of the sacramental : God’s promise to dwell in a particular place.
