How much of our own self- interest should we be willing to sacrifice for love of another? The Quietists answered, all of it, even the salvation of our own soul. Opposing them were the Jansenists, including Arnauld, who saw self-interest as inescapable. The debate swept across French society in the 17th century, with Bossuet and Fénelon on opposite sides, and was multi- dimensional, with political and ecclesiastical intrigue, charges of heresy, and many shenanigans. Initially theological, the debate’s basis lay in differing philosophical concepts of freewill, with both sides claiming support from Descartes’s views. The debate thus highlights interpretation of the Cartesians, especially Malebranche, a prominent participant in it. Nevertheless, this is the first book on the debate in English.

Ce fut bien une grande affaire que la réception de la bulle Unigenitus, et s’attacher aux positions et réactions des évêques français en ces circonstances constitue un point de vue original qui s’intéresse à des personnalités maltraitées par l’historiographie traditionnelle. Ces prélats sont incontestablement de bons administrateurs en ce temps de troubles. Ils sont essentiellement rigoristes, gallicans et prudents pour la plupart, même si les Nouvelles ecclésiastiques viennent donner un relief particulier aux idées extrêmes de quelques-uns. Le jansénisme et la Bulle ne sont plus qu’un prétexte à une réflexion sur les rapports entre l’Église et l’État. Faut-il accepter la Constitution parce que le roi le veut ou la refuser pour protéger les libertés gallicanes mises en cause par Rome ? C’est tout le paradoxe d’un épisode riche d’ambiguïtés et de contradictions, aux enjeux théologico-politiques d’une terrible complexité. Ces pages invitent à une relecture de la grande querelle qui a bouleversé l’Église de France dans la première moitié du xviiie siècle. Elles se proposent de guider le lecteur dans les inextricables débats qui ont agité le clergé et la monarchie lors de la réception de la constitution de Clément XI ; puis d’aborder les conséquences pastorales de l’Unigenitus dans les diocèses et dans les ouvrages forgés par les curies épiscopales, des bréviaires aux missels en passant par les catéchismes.

"In The Catholic Church and the Bible: From the Council of Trent to the Jansenist Controversy (1564-1733), Els Agten studies the impact of Jansenism and anti-Jansenism on the ideas regarding vernacular Bible reading and Bible production in the Low Countries in the broader seventeenth century. The book provides a review of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century book censorship and an analysis of the ideas and the writings of ten protagonists, including theologians, Bible translators, ecclesiastical authorities and representatives of Port-Royal. This way, Agten demonstrates that the Jansenists were stimulating the laity, with the inclusion of women and children, to read the Bible in the vernacular, with no restrictions whatsoever. Their opponents, in contrast, adopted a more wary position".
