Nouvelle Defense De La Constitution De N. S. P. Le Pape Portant Condamnation Du Nouveau Testament Du P. Quesnel... Par M. Cl. Le Pelletier... presents a detailed defense of the papal bull 'Unigenitus, ' issued by Pope Clement XI, which condemned Pasquier Quesnel's translation and commentary on the New Testament. This work by Claude Le Pelletier delves into the theological and legal justifications for the condemnation, engaging with the controversies surrounding Jansenism and the interpretation of scripture.
Le Pelletier's defense offers valuable insights into the ecclesiastical and political climate of the early 18th century, shedding light on the tensions between papal authority, theological dissent, and the evolving landscape of religious thought in France. This historical document remains relevant for scholars interested in the history of the Catholic Church, Jansenism, and the impact of papal pronouncements on European intellectual life.
