TraitÃ(c) des hÃ(c)rÃ(c)tiques

Traité des hérétiques explores the complex question of whether heretics should be persecuted and how one should behave toward them, according to the opinions and sentences of several authors, both ancient and modern. Written by Sébastien Castellion, a prominent figure in the 16th century, this treatise delves into the historical and theological arguments surrounding religious tolerance and the treatment of those deemed heretical. Castellion's work remains a significant contribution to the discourse on religious freedom and the limits of authority, offering valuable insights into the intellectual and social climate of the Reformation era. This edition makes Castellion's important work accessible to modern readers interested in the history of religious thought and the ongoing debate about tolerance and persecution.
