Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a response to the perceived moral laxity of the Jesuit order in the 17th century. The author, a member of the Jansenist movement, analyzes the writings of Jesuit theologians to demonstrate their casuistry, or the use of subtle reasoning to justify questionable actions. Among the issues examined are the morality of killing, lying, and the accumulation of wealth. The author also examines the broader context of the debate over moral theology in the Catholic Church and the role of the Jesuits within it during this period. Through a combination of careful analysis and sharp wit, the author aims to expose the dangers of lax moral principles and the importance of upholding ethical standards. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book makes a unique contribution to the theological discourse of its time by gathering together the 'Provincial Letters' written by the author. Originally appearing as a series of polemics against a Jesuit moral theologian, the compiler offers a nuanced defense of Jansenism and the Augustinian tradition, critiquing the perceived laxity of Jesuit casuistry, particularly as regards the forgiveness of sins. The author masterfully employs irony and satire to both entertain and persuade the reader, with the letters sparking a significant controversy that extended well beyond theological circles. Ultimately, the book not only provides an invaluable historical record of a notable theological dispute but also offers insights into the complex religious and intellectual landscape of 17th century France.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of letters penned by a provincial seeking theological insight from a friend in Paris. At the time, the Sorbonne was immersed in heated debates about new ideas put forth by proponents of Jansenism. The author explains the concepts of "proximate power," and "sufficient grace" as they are defined and debated by such factions as Molinists, Jacobins, and new Thomists. This work provides in-depth analysis of the broader conflict between Jansenists and Jesuits, and ultimately the condemnation of Arnauld's views by the Sorbonne. The author's unique position as an outsider to these conflicts allows him to present a balanced view of the complex ideas and motivations driving the fierce debates that marked this period.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains The Provincial Letters, a famous series of 18 open letters in the form of satire, written between 1656 and 1657 by the French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. The letters critique the moral teachings of the Jesuits, one of the most powerful religious orders in France at that time. Pascal takes particular aim at the Jesuits' use of casuistry, a method of moral reasoning that allowed for the justification of almost any action. In a broader sense, the book offers a critique of religious hypocrisy and moral laxity, criticizing the excesses of seventeenth-century French society. The letters were hugely popular, achieving immediate fame, and remain one of the great works of French literature, influential in shaping ideas about morality and religion.
