Moïse Amyraut

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 .
