A travers le cas Rousseau, l’ouvrage vise à renouveler notre vision du siècle des Lumières. In Rousseau et la Bible, Geneviève Di Rosa interrogates the different representations of Jean-Jacques as a reader of the Bible, his rewritings of Biblical narratives and the presence of Christian and Christ-like ways of thinking throughout his work.

With Di Rosa, the issue is no longer about how Rousseau imbibes, from his childhood, the content of the Bible and reflects it in his adult writings, but about how Bible-inspired thought in Rousseau's literary works is conveyed by a language she has undertaken to read between the lines, and to split into new meanings, thanks to her linguistically technical approach. To achieve this feat, Di Rosa has mobilized all the interpretative machinery available in stylistics as well as the most elegant and impressive register in literary criticism, and thereby succeeds in placing her work on an eminent pedestal of intellectual productivity. This achievement has placed Rousseau et la Bible among books of the highest erudition in the field of literary criticism and stylistics. - Robert Yennah, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, 30.3, 2018.
