OSTERVALD, JEAN FREDERIC (16631747) , Swiss
Protestant
  divine, was born at Neuchatel on the 25th of November 1663. He was educated at Zurich and at Saumur (where he graduated), studied theology at Orleans under Claude Pajon, at Paris under
Jean
  Claude and at Geneva under Louis Tronchin, and was ordained to the
ministry
  in his native place in 1683. As preacher, pastor, lecturer and author, he attained a position of
great
 
influence
  in his day, he and his friends, J. A. Turretin of Geneva and S. Werenfels (16571740) of Basel, forming what was once called the " Swiss triumvirate." He was thought to show a leaning towards Socinianism and Arminianism. He died on the 14th of
April
  1747.
His
principal
  works are Traite des sources de la corruption qui regne aujourd'hui parmi les Chretiens (1700), translated into
English
 , Dutch and German, practically a plea for a more ethical and less doctrinal type of Christianity; Catechisme ou instruction clans la religion chretienne (1702), also translated into
English
 , Dutch and German; Traite contre l'impurete (1707); Sermons sur divers textes (17221724); Theologiae compendium (1739); and Traduction de la Bible (1724). All his writings attained
great
  popularity among French Protestants; many were translated into various languages; and " Ostervald's Bible," a revision of the French
translation
 , in particular, was
long
  well known and much valued in Britain.
