Pierre Grelot

Pierre Grelot (Paris, 6 February 1917 - Orléans, 22 June 2009) was a French Roman Catholic priest, biblical scholar and theologian. He had an expert knowledge of aramaic and was a specialist in Paul's letters.

Biography

Grelot studied at St. Louis School, in Montargis. He decided to follow religious life and he was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1941. He became a teacher at the Seminary of Orléans and afterwards at the Institut Catholique de Paris, from 1961 to 1983. He became an honorary teacher of the Institute in 1985.

He presented his thesis in Theology, Èxègese Littérale, Éxègese Spirituelle, in 1949. He had an important role in the renewal of the Biblical studies in France with his books, Introduction aux Livres Saints (1954) and Pages Bibliques (1954), which were reissued several times and had translations in several different languages.

Grelot was a counsellor of the Bishops' Conference of France and a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, from 1972 to 1983.

He participated in the TV series Corpus Christi (1997), exhibited at the Arte channel, about the Gospels.

He was quoted by Pope Benedict XVI in his book Jesus of Nazareth (2007).[1]

He had controversies with other biblical scholars who opposed a late dating of the New Testament writings; he wrote his book L'origine des Évangiles (1985) in opposition to the view held by Jean Carmignac.[2]

gollark: You can travel by train to London, except it's insanely expensive.
gollark: Not sure where you'd expect it to get the times from, though.
gollark: I can probably program something if you're specific about your requirements.
gollark: There are projects you could do which might *actually* be useful and not too hard to do, and you should consider those instead of trying to blindly ape Windows and stuff for the 129712815261th CC OS.
gollark: <@630513495003103242> Useful "OS"es are hard to develop because they involve somewhat fiddly programming stuff generally, like, well, screen sharing, networking, that sort of thing. If you don't have a decent knowledge base making a useful OS is going to be hard, and OSes, being complex, are not a good way to learn.
