JEAN ALPHONSE TURRETIN (1671-1737) , son of the preceding, was born at Geneva on the 13th of August 1671. He studied theology at Geneva under L. Tronchin, and after travelling in Holland, England and France was received into the " Venerable Compagnie des Pasteurs" of Geneva in 1693. Here he became pastor of the Italian
congregation
 , and in 1697 professor of
church
  history, and later (1705) of theology. During the next
forty
  years of his life he enjoyed
great
  influence in Geneva as the
advocate

of a more liberal theology than had prevailed under the preceding generation, and it was largely through his instrumentality that the
rule
  obliging ministers to subscribe to the
Formula
  Consensus Helvetica was abolished in 1706, and the Consensus itself renounced in 1725. He also wrote and laboured for the promotion of
union
  between the Reformed and Lutheran Churches, his most important
work
  in this connexion being Nubes testium pro moderato et pacifico de rebus theologicis judicio, et instituenda inter Protest antes concordia (Geneva, 1729). Besides this he wrote Cogitationes et dissertationes theologicae, on the principles of natural and revealed religion (2 vols., Geneva, 1737; in French, Traite de la verite de la religion chretienne) and commentaries on Thessalonians and Romans. He died on the 1st of May 1737.
