Project Gutenberg 2012-01-17 Public domain in the USA. 278 Bresse, J. L'Histoire Des Vaudois From Authentic Details of the Valdenses Produced by David Widger "L'Histoire Des Vaudois" by J. Bresse is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book explores the history and trials of the Vaudois, a Christian group in the valleys of Piedmont, as they have maintained their faith through centuries of persecution. It discusses their belief in the purity of their doctrine and the significant role they played in preserving the early teachings of Christianity. The opening portion introduces readers to the foundational themes of the book, highlighting the Vaudois's struggles and resilience in the face of oppression from the Papal Church and French authorities. The text conveys the salient idea that the Vaudois have long represented a "middle link" in Christian history, connecting primitive Christianity to later reformative movements. Additionally, it references the historical significance of famous figures and events that shaped the Vaudois legacy, setting up a narrative of both sorrow and national pride. The author aims to galvanize the contemporary audience, especially the youth of the Vaudois community, to recall their heritage and the exemplary lives of their ancestors.
