- Abstract
- The prohibition of idolatry is doubtless essential in the First Testament since it appears at the beginning of the Ten Words. It defies however being brought up to date. This brief article attempts to show the interest of reflection on this theme on the basis of a few texts of the Old Testament: the idolatrous figure of the serpent in Gen 3 and the antidotes proposed by the Law; the golden calf in Ex 32 and the solipsist process at work in idolatry; the metaphor of prostitution in Hosea 1-3 and the radical opposition between idolatry and the covenant.
