Theological Theses — Louis Le Blanc

by Jack Harper

Louis Le Blanc’s “Theological Theses” are Reformed scholastic disputations by a seventeenth-century French professor at the Academy of Sedan, on Scripture, faith, predestination, justification, grace, free will, the sacraments, and Protestant-Roman controversy. Le Blanc is known for his irenicism, clarity, fairness in representing opponents, and care in distinguishing real doctrinal disputes from nominal ones, which makes him especially useful for serious controversy.
