French Jansenists is a historical book written by Marguerite Tollemache in 1893. The book explores the history of the Jansenist movement in France, which emerged in the 17th century as a response to the perceived laxity and corruption in the Catholic Church. The Jansenists were followers of the Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen, who emphasized the importance of grace and predestination in Christian theology.Tollemache's book provides a detailed account of the Jansenist movement, tracing its origins, development, and eventual decline. She examines the key figures in the movement, including the influential theologian Antoine Arnauld and the controversial writer Blaise Pascal. Tollemache also explores the political and social context in which the Jansenists operated, including their conflicts with the Jesuits and the French monarchy.Throughout the book, Tollemache provides a nuanced and balanced perspective on the Jansenist movement, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. She also draws connections between the Jansenists and other religious and intellectual movements of the time, including the Enlightenment and the Counter-Reformation.Overall, French Jansenists is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in France, the development of religious movements, and the intersection of politics and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
