Jacques Bnigne Bossuet

Jacques Bnigne Bossuet

Jacques-Bnigne Bossuet (September 27, 1627 April 12, 1704) was a French bishop and theologian, renowned for his sermons and other addresses. He has been considered by many to be one of the most brilliant orators of all time and a masterly French stylist. Court preacher to Louis XIV of France, Bossuet was a strong advocate of political absolutism and the divine right of kings. He argued that government was divine and that kings received their power from God.
