Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a rich trove of primary source documents, delves into the famous 16th-century heresy trial of Jà rà me Bolsec, a theologian who dared to challenge the prevailing doctrine of predestination espoused by John Calvin. Through firsthand accounts, including transcripts of Bolsec's interrogations and the clergy's formal accusations, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious controversies that shaped the Protestant Reformation. The author meticulously presents the theological arguments and counterarguments, allowing readers to understand the core of the dispute. Bolsec's insistence on free will and the universality of God's grace clashed with Calvin's belief in the absolute sovereignty of God and the predetermined fate of individuals. The trial transcripts reveal the deep divisions within the Reformation movement and highlight the challenges faced by those who dared to dissent from established orthodoxy. Bolsec's case offers a sobering reminder of the high price paid by those who challenge prevailing religious views. This book not only sheds light on a specific historical event but also invites contemplation of the timeless struggle between individual conscience and religious authority. It is a valuable resource for students of religious history, theology, and anyone interested in the interplay between faith and power.
