The Great Controversy
Revolution (London, 1927), in which the account is carried through
1802—an excellent study; W. H. Jervis, The Gallican Church and the
Revolution (London, 1882), a careful work by an Anglican, but shows
preference for Catholicism.
On the relation of church and state in France during the French
Revolution see Henry H. Walsh, The Concordate of 1801: A Study
of Nationalism in Relation to Church and State (New York, 1933);
Charles Ledre, L’Eglise de France sous la Revolution (Paris, 1949).
Some contemporary studies on the religious significance of the
Revolution are G. Chais de Sourcesol, Le Livre des Manifestes (Avi-
gnon, 1800), in which the author endeavored to ascertain the causes
of the upheaval, and its religious significance, etc.; James Bicheno,
The Signs of the Times (London, 1794); James Winthrop, A Systematic
Arrangement of Several Scripture Prophecies Relating to Antichrist;
with Their Application to the Course of History (Boston, 1795); and

Lathrop, The Prophecy of Daniel Relating to the Time of the End
(Springfield, Massachusetts, 1811).
For the church during the Revolution see W. M. Sloan, The French
Revolution and Religious Reform (1901); P. F. La Gorce, Histoire
Religieuse de la Revolution (Paris, 1909).
On relations with the papacy see G. Bourgin, La France et Rome
de 1788-1797 (Paris, 1808), based on secret files in the Vatican; A. La-
treille, L’ Eglise Catholique et la Revolution (Paris, 1950), especially
interesting on Pius VI and the religious crisis, 1775-1799.
For Protestants during the Revolution, see Pressense (ed.), The
Reign of Terror (Cincinnati, 1869).
