A leading figure among Protestant orators, like Charles Drelincourt, this pastor of the Reformed Church of Paris was among the most skilled controversialists, mixing eloquence and violent diatribes. The author criticizes the Roman Catholic position and replaces Scripture as the sovereign judge of controversies, not the pope or the church. This is a book on the controversy of Holy Scripture, between the Catholic and Protestant churches.
