Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
JURIEU, PIERRE (1637-1713) , French
Protestant
  divine, was born at Mer, in Orleanais, where his father was a
Protestant
  pastor. He studied at Saumur and
Sedan
  under his grandfather, Pierre Dumoulin, and under Leblanc de Beaulieu. After completing his studies in Holland and England, Jurieu received Anglican ordination; returning to France he was ordained again and succeeded his father as pastor of the church at Mer. Soon after this he published his first
work
 , Examen de livre de la reunion du Christianisme (1671). In 1694 his Traite de la devotion led to his appointment as professor of theology and Hebrew at
Sedan
 , where he soon became also pastor. A year later he published his A pologie pour la morale des Reformes. He obtained a high reputation, but his
work
  was impaired by his controversial temper, which frequently developed into an irritated fanaticism, though he was always entirely sincere. He was called by his adversaries " the Goliath of the Protestants." On the suppression of the academy of Sedan in 1681, Jurieu received an invitation to a church at Rouen, but, afraid to remain in France on account of his forthcoming work, La Politique du clerge de France, he went to Holland and was pastor of the Walloon church of Rotterdam till his death on the 11th of January 1713. He was also professor at the ecole illustre. Jurieu did much to help those who suffered by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). He himself turned for
consolation
  to the
Apocalypse
 , and succeeded in persuading himself (Accomplissement des propheties, 1686) that the overthrow of Antichrist (i.e. the papal church) would take place in 1689. H. M. Baird says that " this persuasion, however fanciful the grounds on which it was based, exercised no small influence in forwarding the success of the designs of William of Orange in the invasion of England." Jurieu defended the doctrines of Protestantism with
great
  ability against the attacks of Antoine Arnauld, Pierre
Nicole
  and Bossuet, but was equally ready to enter into dispute with his fellow Protestant divines (with Louis Du Moulin and Claude Payon, for instance) when their opinions differed from his own even on
minor
  matters. The bitter.ness and persistency of his attacks on his colleague Pierre Bayle led to the latter being deprived of his chair in 1693.
One of Jurieu's
chief
  works is Lettres pastorales adressees aux fideles de France (3 vols., Rotterdam, 16861687; Eng. trans., 1689), which, notwithstanding the vigilance of the police, found its way into France and produced a deep impression on the Protestant population. His last important work was the Histoire critique des dogmes et des tulles (1704; Eng. trans., 1715). He wrote a
great
  number of controversial works.
