Abstract
Sixteenth-century exegetes on conversion and apostasy Were Catholic and Protestant exegetical works becoming increasingly « confessional » during the sixteenth century ? A study of the evangelical "loci" of conversion and apostasy — i.e. Peters denial, Jesus' words on denial, the parables of the Lost Sheep, the last drachma, the Prodigal Son (Mt 26, 69-75 ; Mt 10, 33 ; Lk 15), does not enable to say that this was so. Even so, in the seventeenth century, notably the episode of Peters denial, gave rise to a virulent re-reading at the time of the Jansenist crisis. As a result the role assigned to the question of grace in the breakup of Christian unity in the sixteenth century must be reassessed.
