By taking seriously the often arid and arcane disputes that roiled French jurists and churchmen in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Parsons affords us an enriched and insightful perspective into how the Gallican views of each group helped to mold both the Bourbon monarchy and later opposition to it. . . . This is a significant study that contributes to our ongoing quest to understand both the genesis and eventual demise of the early modern French monarchy.--American Historical Review Through a careful examination of the literature produced by the conflict, Parsons shows how the ideological contest over the Gallican liberties shaped political debates until the Enlightenment, and demonstrates the importance of religion to the development of the French state. - Choice "Jotham Parsons has written a dense and demanding tome of intellectual history on Sixteenth‐century France....All readers, even those skeptical of the presentation of medieval Gallicanism which begins the book, will be impressed by the erudition of The Church in the Republic and will be stimulated by Parsons' innovative analysis of the arguments between jurists and clerics over the relation of the Gallican Church to the monarchy in Renaissance France." - Heythrop Journal "A brilliant and distinguished exercise in intellectual history." - Journal of Church and State This deft analysis of Gallicanism and its intersection with constitutional theory and practice addresses a much neglected element in the history of early modern France.--Renaissance Quarterly "This is an erudite and wide-ranging examination of the role of Gallicanism as a political ideology in the formation of the early modern French state....it never ceases to impress with the depth of its scholarship and the careful construction of its central thesis." - Renaissance Studies
