N2  - Using the texts of the Bible to defend or attack ideas or practices usually takes place at the price of a unilateral or simplistic reading. A more attentive reading shows that the text has a subtlety and wealth of meaning which forbid simple ideas; the text requires from the reader forceful and discriminating reflection which respects the text and the reality it evokes. On the basis of a narrative reading of the death of Samson (Judg 16,21-31), the authors of this article show how the story, far from justifying suicide attacks, in fact provides a profound reflection on violence and on what it implies both for man and for God.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
