The Divine Feudal Law: Or, Covenants with Mankind, Represented

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the themes of religious toleration and reconciliation, the book critiques the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes as tyrannical and advocates for unity between Lutherans and Calvinists. Pufendorf presents a theological framework aimed at fostering coexistence among different Protestant confessions while declaring reconciliation with Catholics as unattainable. Originally published in 1695, it serves as a complement to his earlier work on toleration, emphasizing the necessity of a peaceful coexistence within a state. An introduction, bibliography, notes, and index enhance its scholarly value.
