What it is
Lectures on what makes an act sinful, on the binding force of human law, and on when a Christian's conscience may resist an ecclesiastical command.
Why it lasted
An influential treatment of conscience and law, and part of Gerson's effort to make theology serve pastors rather than only the schools.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
