Excerpt from L'Œuvre de Calvin: Réponse à la Conférence Prononcée par M. Ferdinand Brunetière, le Mardi 17 Décembre 1901, au Victoria Hall à Genève
Il convient, disiez-vous naguères a Lvon, de faire un bon usage de nos adversaires, à plus forte raison lorsque ceux-ci l'emportent par la finesse et la réserve diplomatiques. Or les catho liques romains, tout au moins à Genève, expri ment si rarement, à. Haute et intelligible voix, leur Opinion sur les graves problèmes actuellement dé battus, que, lorsqu'ils se départent de cette règle par l'organe d'un interprète accrédité et disert, nous devons les écouter avec une attention res pectueuse, sinon sympathique. Le choix de leur orateur pour la conférence du 17 décembre té moigne de leur habileté ordinaire. \'ous n'êtes pas seulement, Monsieur, chargé de cours à l'ecole normale, directeur de la Revue des Deux: Mondex, membre de l'académie francaise. Les descendants des huguenots avaient à saluer en vous, comme le dit Le Gaulois du 21 décembre, un confident attitré de Léon XIII, l'ambassadeur du saint Siège signifiant son arrêt sur l'oeuvre de Calvin à la Rome protestante.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's balanced response to a lecture delivered to a protestant audience by a devout Catholic on the legacy of John Calvin. The lecture, delivered to an audience of Calvin's co-religionists, outlines the Catholic view of Calvin and his influence on the doctrines of Protestantism. The author argues that Calvin, while a brilliant theologian who played a central role in the Protestant Reformation, was also an intolerant and sometimes unjust figure whose dogmatic approach to theology and his elitist ecclesiastical model stifled religious and social progress. The book offers a fair and measured critique of Calvin's teachings, while also showing the ways that his commitment to some of these principles laid the foundation for certain aspects of modernity, such as individualism and intellectual inquiry.
