Sommario/riassunto

Berruyer's Bible offers a fresh perspective on the history of the Catholic Enlightenment. By exploring the rise and fall of the French Jesuit Isaac-Joseph Berruyer's Histoire du peuple de Dieu, Daniel Watkins reveals how Catholic attempts to assimilate Enlightenment ideas caused conflicts within the church and between the church and the French state.
