One of Bossuet's major works, in which the author summarizes the controversies against the Protestant church through a key concept: variation. The multiple destinies and variations around the same doctrine must demonstrate to us that the Protestant church could not be the church of Christ and the depository of faith. The avertissemens are a response to Pierre Jurieu's attacks in defense of Protestants against Bossuet's book.
