-------------------
This is a significant 17th century book bringing together two works which seek to address the Jansenist controversy from the Catholic perspective. The first, Causa Janseniana, attributed to Paulus Irenaeus, critically examines the so called "fictitious heresy" of Jansenism in six theological and historical disquisitions, supplemented by additional treatises and letters. The second work, Dissertatio Theologica by Antonii Arnaldi, a Doctor of the Sorbonne is a theological exploration of St. John Chrysostom’s maxim “Sine qua nihil poterat”, discussing the possibility of fulfilling divine precepts and the necessity of efficacious grace, with reference to Scripture, the Church Fathers, and recent theological authorities.
