Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an epistolary treatise concerning two significant theological debates held at the Sorbonne, the faculty of theology at the University of Paris, introduces readers to a series of lively letters regarding the complex matters of next power and sufficient grace. The author, a learned and devoutly Catholic individual, engages with the intellectual and theological elite of 17th-century France to provide an insightful critique of the divisions within the Church. Through the incisive observations of the author, contemporary readers gain a window into the intellectual ferment of the period, the complexities of theological controversies, and the nature of religious authority.
