Jean Claude
Jean Claude (* 1619 in La Sauvetat-du-Dropt near Agen ; † January 13, 1687 in Haag ) was a French Reformed theologian.
In 1654 he was appointed pastor and professor to Nîmes , but both here and in Montauban he was condemned to silence by the government. He then went to Paris and became known there for his apologetic works against Catholic opponents, especially for his four-volume Défense de la réformation , which was published in Rouen in 1673 . From 1666 he held the parish of Charenton near Paris. When the Edict of Nantes was repealed in 1685, he was ordered to leave France within 24 hours and went to The Hague, where he wrote the Plaintes des protestantes cruellement opprimés dans le royaume de France (Cologne 1686).
All of his works were published in 1688 in five volumes under the title Œuvres posthumes de Jean Claude in Amsterdam. Jean Frédéric Ostervald was one of Claude's students .
