I "cherubini"? Sono originari della Mesopotamia e in principio avevano un aspetto assai poco angelico. Il "serpente"? Lo associamo abitualmente al diavolo, ma talora nelle Scritture incarna l'efficacia salvifica di Dio, fino a simboleggiare Cristo crocifisso. Il "numero"? Nella concezione biblica suppose una serie di significati che vanno ben oltre l. a. matematica. E il "cielo", così ricco di significati trascendenti, come period concepito nell'Antico e nel Nuovo Testamento dal punto di vista teologico e da quello scientifico?
l. a. Bibbia è uno straordinario patrimonio di immagini che hanno alimentato in line with secoli il pensiero e l'arte dell'Occidente, anche se oggi si è persa in gran parte l. a. familiarità con il suo universo simbolico.
Secondo Gianfranco Ravasi, biblista di fama internazionale, è consistent withò ancora possibile, nella nostra società, riaccendere l. a. curiosità nei confronti del poliedrico mondo rappresentato nei testi sacri. E con questo intento accompagna i lettori, sia credenti sia atei, in quella terra "un po' misteriosa che è l. a. teologia, inoltrandosi nei suoi viali principali, nelle sue strade, ma anche inerpicandosi sui suoi viottoli secondari". Le tappe di questo viaggio suggestivo sono una serie di voci tematiche, che si soffermano non solo sulle grandi questioni teologiche (dall'"anima" alla "risurrezione", dalla "grazia " alla "Trinità") ma anche su ambienti naturali, oggetti, riferimenti storici, usanze di cui è costellato il racconto biblico.
In questo itinerario di parole, destinate spesso a rivelare significati inattesi e sorprendenti rispetto alle normali accezioni ancora in uso, potremo esplorare le profondità del "mare", ossia l. a. dimensione metafisica che esso suppose nelle Scritture, o contemplare nel "monte", dal Sinai al Golgota, un luogo privilegiato dell'azione divina di salvezza. Potremo avventurarci tra i numerosi e variopinti "animali" che compaiono nei testi sacri. O scoprire che il legame tra Adamo e los angeles terra da cui è stato tratto è rivelato dal suo stesso nome.
Coniugando come sempre il rigore dell'analisi con un linguaggio di rara chiarezza, monsignor Ravasi ci aiuta a cogliere anche nelle cose più piccole e umili i segni di un mistero che da millenni continua advert affascinare e interrogare l'uomo.
