In this first translation of Sylvain Marechal's Bible commentary,
Sheila Delany offers an important document in the history of modern
European secularization and rationalist Bible criticism. Editor of
one of France's best-known radical journals, Revolutions de Paris,
and author in many genres-drama, poetry, journalism,
treatise-Marechal (1750-1803) embraced the revolutionary
egalitarian ideas of Francois-Noel "Gracchus" Babeuf. As an
atheist, he witnessed with dismay the advent of Napoleon and the
post-revolutionary return of Catholic fervor. For and Against the
Bible was his protest, his reminder of what the nation had endured
and of what, at the opening of the nineteenth century, it might
still accomplish. Delany's introduction and annotated English
translation will be of importance to all interested in Jewish or
Christian Bible studies, history of Bible criticism, eighteenth
century European rationalism, French atheism, modern European
secularism.
