The Irenical Theology of Théophile Brachet de la Milletière (1588-1665)

This book offers an analysis of the content and background of Theophile Brachet de la Milletiere's irenic proposals to the competing religious parties in France (1634-1645), as well as an overall picture of religious France in that period, since both Roman Catholics (the Gallican clergy, the Jesuits and their rivals, the Jansenists) and Calvinists (the ministers of Charenton, the scholars of Saumur and orthodox theologians like Rivet) combatted this alleged 'third religion'.
