　Presented here is a Japanese translation of Sebastian Castellio's last work, De l’art de douter et de croire, d'ignorer et de savoir (reedition in 1996). 　Castellio was a Christian theologian in the 16th century living in Basel, Switzerland. When young, he lived in Lyon, France, where he learned about ancient Greek, Latin, and Christianity. This city was prosperous in printing and commerce and famous well as a base for Humanists, for example, François Rabelais. After suddenly converting to Protestantism in his adolescence, he moved to Geneva to meet John Calvin, the founder of Calvinism. At first, the two Protestants got along, but they had a falling-out soon later because of disaccord in interpreting the Bible. Since that, Castellio left for Basel and engaged in controversy with Genevan theologians like Calvin and his successor, Theodore Beza, until his death. It was on this condition that Castellio wrote his last work as a compilation of him. Although it was unpublished during his lifetime, some parts were circulated by philosophers or thinkers in Western Europe and influenced modern thoughts. 　Despite this interesting fact, there has been no available translation of De l’art de douter in Japanese ever. So the translator has picked up some chapters and attempted the first Japanese version of Castellio's most fundamental and significant work. This time, the themes are about Trinity and Faith.
