Theological Theses · §1137 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Paul and Peter: Christ gave himself to rescue and make us live to him

Christ gave himself to rescue us from this evil age and make the living live for him (Galatians 1; 2 Corinthians 5).

Peter and Titus tie his bearing of sins to dead-to-sin, sober, pious, just life.

Latin

IX. Nam ut testatur Paulus, Dominus noster Jesus Christus dedit semetipsum pro peccatis nostris, ut eriperet nos de praesenti saeculo nequam, Galat. 1. Et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus, ut qui vivunt jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est, & resurrexit, 2 Cor. 5. Quibus concinit illud Petri, Peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum, ut peccato mortui justitiae vivamus. 1 Pet. 2. Denique, juxta Apostolum, huc tendit illa gratia salutaris, quae in Evangelio nobis apparuit, ut abnegantes impietatem, & saecularia desideria, sobrie, pie, & juste vivamus in hoc saeculo. Tit. 2.

About this text

Louis Le Blanc, a Reformed professor at Sedan, sets out theology in theses argued against Rome: Scripture, faith, grace, free choice, good works and the saints.

This volume holds the Theses on Theology I–XLIII and On Faith I–XXII, in eighteen sections.

Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu (1614–1675) was minister and professor of theology at the Academy of Sedan, the Reformed school on France's eastern border. His Theses were disputed by students over many years and collected in a London folio (1675).

The Theological Theses range across the whole Reformed system — Scripture, God, predestination, grace, and justifying faith — in the crisp thesis-and-proof form of the seventeenth-century schools.

Date1675 AD (Sedan theses; London collection)
