Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERNARD, JACQUES (1658--1718) , French theologian and publicist, was born at Nions in Dauphine on the 1st of September 1658. Having studied at Geneva, he returned to France in 1679, and was chosen minister of Venterol in Dauphine, whence he afterwards removed to the
church
  of Vinsobres. As he continued to preach the reformed doctrines in opposition to the royal
ordinance
 , he was obliged to leave the country and retired to Holland, where he was well received and appointed one of the
pensionary
  ministers of Gouda. In July 1686 he commenced his Histoire abregee de t'Europe, which he continued monthly till
December r688. In 1692 he began is Lettres historiques, containing an account of the most important transactions in Europe; he carried on this
work
  till the end of 1688, after which it was continued by others. When Le Clerc discontinued his Bibliotheque universe/le in 1691,
Bernard
  wrote the greater part of the twentieth volume and the five following volumes. In 1698 he collected and published Ades et negociations de la paix de Ryswic, in four volumes r 2mo. In 1699 he began a continuation of Bayle's Nouvelles de la republique des lettres, which continued till December 1710. In 1705 he was unanimously elected one of the ministers of the Walloon
church
  at Leiden; and about the same time he succeeded M. de Valder in the chair of philosophy and mathematics at Leiden. In 1716 he published a supplement to Moreri's dictionary, in two volumes folio. The same year he resumed his Nouvelles de la rlpublique des lettres, and continued it till his death, on the 27th of April 1718. Besides the works above mentioned, he was the author of two
practical
 
treatises
 , one on
late
  repentance (1712), the other on the excellence of religion (1714).
