Jean Le Clerc (theologian)
Genevan theologian and biblical scholar
Jean Le Clerc, also Johannes Clericus (March 19, 1657 – January 8, 1736), is a Genevan theologian and biblical scholar. He is famous for promoting exegesis, or critical interpretation of the Bible, and is a radical of his age. He parts with Calvinism over his interpretations and leaves Geneva for this reason.
