| Summary: | In this study, the author examines the so-called evangelist movement, born in France among the rigorist moralists of the XVIIth century, which aimed at the renewal of moral theology by returning to Scripture. Why did this movement begin in France at this precise period? What were its main characteristics? How is it that it was advocated only by the rigorists? In fact, many of those moralists themselves proclaimed the necessity of a return to the Bible in moral theology, for reasons that had not much in common with the love or right understanding of Scripture. There was ignorance of the real meaning of Scripture: for many, it was exclusively a voice of the past, by no means the actual and living word of God. Many others, with a positivist mind, considered human reason as an enemy of the faith and the Gospel. They did not sufficiently see that human reason is redeemed and saved when it tries to understand Revelation and explain it. |
