See also: Protestant divine, was See also: born at Mer, in See also: Orleanais, where his See also: father was a Protestant pastor
.
He studied at See also: Saumur and See also: Sedan under his grandfather, See also: Pierre Dumoulin, and under Leblanc de See also: Beaulieu
.
After completing his studies in See also: Holland and
See also: England, See also: Jurieu received See also: Anglican ordination; returning to See also: France he was ordained again and succeeded his father as pastor of the See also: church at Mer
.
Soon after this he published his first
See also: work, Examen de livre de la See also: reunion du Christianisme (1671)
.
In 1694 his Traite de la devotion led to his See also: appointment as professor of See also: theology and See also: Hebrew at Sedan, where he soon became also pastor
.
A See also: year later he published his A pologie pour la morale See also: des Reformes
.
He obtained a high reputation, but his work was impaired by his controversial temper, which frequently See also: developed into an irritated fanaticism, though he was always entirely sincere
.
He was called by his adversaries " the See also: Goliath of the Protestants." On the suppression of the See also: academy of Sedan in 1681, Jurieu received an invitation to a church at See also: 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 See also: Rotterdam till his See also: death on the 11th of See also: 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 See also: Nantes (1685)
.
He himself turned for See also: consolation to the Apocalypse, and succeeded in persuading himself (Accomplissement des propheties, 1686) that the overthrow of See also: Antichrist (i.e. the papal church) would take place in 1689
.

M . See also: 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 See also: William of Orange in the invasion of England." Jurieu defended the doctrines of Protestantism with
See also: great ability against the attacks of See also: Antoine See also: Arnauld, Pierre See also: Nicole and See also: Bossuet, but was equally ready to enter into dispute with his See also: fellow Protestant divines (with See also: Louis Du
See also: Moulin and See also: 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 See also: Bayle led to the latter being deprived of his chair in 1693
.
One of Jurieu's chief See also: works is Lettres pastorales adressees aux fideles de France (3 vols., Rotterdam, 1686–1687; 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
