Voltaire's most scathingly anti-Christian text, the "Sermon des
cinquante", of which he consistently denied authorship, develops
the arguments he was to use over the coming decades in a multitude
of virulent texts. In the period 1758-1759, biblical questions
remain prominent with the "Lettre sur le Messie" and, in a gentler
tone, the "Precis de l'Ecclesiaste" and "Precis du Cantique des
cantiques". These years also saw the culmination of a long-brewing
quarrel over the reputation of the deceased minister Joseph Saurin,
which brought Voltaire's stay in Lausanne to a close. A series of
philosophical dialogues and a conte round out his literary
productions of this two-year span.
