In this study the content and background of La Milletiere's irenism are analysed and compared to the irenism of Hugo Grotius, who strived for unity in this same period. The reactions which La Milletiere's books and pamphlets provoked are related to the rival groups within each confession: Jansenists versus Jesuits, the scholars of Saumur versus orthodox theologians like Rivet and Du Moulin and the ministers of Charenton.
Richelieu's conciliatory religious policy was experienced by the oppressed French calvinists as a major threat to the integrity of their doctrine. When one of their co-religionists, La Milletiere, began to propagate a reunification of Protestants and Roman-Catholics, they did not fail to recognize these irenic proposals as Richelieu's. On the other hand, the Roman Catholics mistrusted this peacemaker as well.
This book therefore offers a contribution to the history of irenism, as well as an analysis of the religious situation in France in the first half of the seventeenth century.
