Jean-Joseph Gaume was a French Roman Catholic theologian and author whose extensive writings explored theology, history, and education. He is notably recognized for his conviction that the societal and moral decline of his era stemmed from the Renaissance's revival of paganism, which he identified as a primary source of evil. This central theme permeates his key works, where he analyzes the historical development of society and proposes remedies. His pedagogical writings, driven by a profound religious and moral vision, advocated for a new method of shaping youth, emphasizing catechetical instruction and limiting the influence of pagan authors in early education.
