Bossuet and His Contemporaries is a book written by H. L. Sidney Lear. The book is a biographical account of the life of Jacques-B�����nigne Bossuet, a French bishop and theologian who lived in the 17th century. The author also provides a detailed analysis of the intellectual and cultural milieu of Bossuet's time, including the political and religious conflicts that shaped the era.The book begins with an overview of Bossuet's early life and education, and goes on to examine his career as a priest, bishop, and court preacher. The author also discusses Bossuet's writings, including his famous sermons and theological treatises, and explores their impact on contemporary French society.In addition to Bossuet, the book also profiles other notable figures of the era, including Fran�����ois de Sales, Blaise Pascal, and Jean Racine. The author provides insights into their lives and works, and shows how they influenced Bossuet's thinking and writing.Overall, Bossuet and His Contemporaries is a comprehensive and engaging study of one of the most important figures of 17th-century France, and a fascinating exploration of the intellectual and cultural context in which he lived and worked.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
