Isaac Jacquelot

Isaac Jacquelot (December 1647 in Vassy, France[1] – 15 October 1708 in Berlin, Germany) was a French Huguenot minister.

Along with Jean Le Clerc and Jacques Bernard, they looked for reason and faith to come into balance and supported religious tolerance.

[4] Jacquelot supported Anthonie van Dale's rejection of the supernatural, as did Le Clerc, with some qualification.

[9] Jacquelot used an argument from design in his Dissertations sur l'existence de Dieu,[10] defending divine providence and revealed religion: observation can and will support the purposive nature of the creation of animals and man.

[11] Jacquelot attacked the system of Benedict Spinoza, as did Samuel Clarke, by taking aim at what were perceived as key propositions in it.
