CHAPTER I
THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSIES IN FRANCE, GERMANY,
ENGLAND, AND THE NETHERLANDS, 1600–1750

2. Theological Contests in the Netherlands 1654–1690.
3. The Protestant Theologians of Holland in the 17th
Century
4. The Protestant Theologians of England 1676–1732.
5. The Protestant Theologians of Germany 1600–1750.
=1. The Protestant Theologians of France, 1654–1700.=--The
Protestant theological literature of France and of French Switzerland
is more fully represented in the Index than are the corresponding
groups of Holland and Germany; but in the case of the French authors
also the selection is rather haphazard, the names of important
authors being omitted, while of others only single books, and of
these the least characteristic, have been included. Certain works
also which escaped condemnation at the time of the first publication
secure attention from the censors only a number of years later. Such
Protestant writers in the first half of the 17th century as Chamier,
Picter, Capel, and Bochart were overlooked altogether.
Jacques Abbadie (1654–1727) comes into the Index in connection with
his _Traité de la Vérité de la Religion Chrétienne_. The edition
prohibited was that of 1688, the entry finding place in the list of
1703. Remond’s treatise, _L’Antéchrist Romain opposé à l’Antéchrist
Juif, du Bellarmin_, secured naturally fairly prompt attention,
being condemned in 1609, the year after its appearance.
La Bastide’s monograph, _Exposition de la Doctrine de l’Église
Catholique sur les Matières de Controverse_, was prohibited in 1693,
twenty years after its publication. This is the only one of the series
of replies to the treatise of Bossuet which secured condemnation.
