Moyse Amyraut
Moyse Amyraut , also Moses Amyraldus (born September 1596 in Bourgueil near Tours ; † January 8, 1664 in Saumur , today in the Maine-et-Loire department ) was a Reformed theologian from France .
Life
Amyraut worked in Saumur first as a pastor and from 1633 as a professor of theology at an academy. In his Traité de la prédestination in 1634 he tried to soften the strict doctrine of predestination of the Dordrecht Synod through a universalism hypotheticus , i.e. through the doctrine of a gracious will of God to save all people under the condition of faith.
Accused at various French national synods, he was repeatedly acquitted. A temporary condemnation of his teaching, called Amyraldism, finally reached in 1674 the Zurich professor Johann Heinrich Heidegger and his Geneva colleague François Turrettini (1623-1687) with the Consensus Helveticus .
