This paper aims to shed more light on the role played by the historical credencewithin the apologetic scheme of the Pensées. Starting from a discussion of Pascal’ssharp condemnation of Montaigne’s use of mythical sources, it briefly analyses howPascal attempts to prove the authenticity of the Scriptures in order to convince unbelievers.Through the innate logical faculty of common sense, reason should offer away to avoid the contradictions of scepticism and to distinguish sacred stories frompagan tales. More specifically, Pascal’s entire proof of the truthfulness of the Bibleis built around the survival of a book, the Old Testament, and of a people, theJewish one, who has handed it down during the centuries and despite persecutions.
