| Résumé : | Ancient law is not limited to ceremonial precepts, but also contains moral and judicial precepts. Question 101 defines ceremonial precepts. Thomas explores the defining features of this type of precept. It is at this point that he calls upon Maimonides. The comparison between the two authors revolves around three axes: the timeline, hermeneutics and the relationship to law. These three parameters are interdependent. When it comes to the observance of certain commandments, the timeline is broken for Christians and continuous for Jews. Hermeneutics also differ, particularly with regard to the interpretation of these commandments. The third axis is, as it were, contained in the first two: the relationship with the law is necessarily antithetical, at least as far as the commandments abrogated in Christianity are concerned (some commandments were taken up unchanged in Christianity, others were modified, and some were even added). As far as the abrogated commandments are concerned, we can speak of a de-legalization in Christianity, and this is what Thomas is referring to when he discusses this point. |
