Abstract
Lancelot Andrewes constructed visually intense scenes and symbolic images to capture his auditors’ interest, but he never let them forget that his visual enargia was rooted in the words of scripture and had no reality outside that given by God’s Word. His strategy was, therefore, not only to make Christ’s presence concrete and accessible to his listeners, but also to hint at how God will always be out of reach, a truth that cannot be seen. In exploring this rhetorical strategy, I focus especially on Andrewes’s 1604 Good Friday sermon, 1620 Easter sermon, and 1620 consecration rite. The two sermons were delivered at opposite ends of Andrewes’s career in James’s court, but both are notable for their intense scrutiny of what it means to see Christ in the eyes of the mind, body, and soul.

Résumé
Lancelot Andrewes convoquait des scènes très évocatrices d’un point de vue visuel et des images symboliques pour capter l’attention de son auditoire ; il ne laissait pas pour autant celui-ci oublier que cette enargia était enracinée dans les mots du texte sacré, et qu’elle n’avait par conséquent aucune réalité en dehors de la réalité communiquée par la Parole de Dieu. Ainsi, sa stratégie consistait non seulement à rendre la présence du Christ concrète et accessible à ses auditeurs, mais encore à laisser entendre que Dieu serait toujours hors de portée, à la manière d’une vérité qui ne peut être vue. Afin d’explorer cette stratégie rhétorique, je me concentre en particulier sur le sermon du Vendredi saint de 1604, sur le sermon de Pâques de 1620 et sur le rite de consécration de 1620. Ces sermons ont été prononcés au début et à la fin de la carrière d’Andrewes à la cour de James I, mais tous deux se distinguent par leur examen approfondi de ce que signifie voir le Christ à travers les yeux de l’esprit, du corps et de l’âme.
