MONOD, ADOLPHE (1802–1856) , See also:French See also:Protestant divine, was See also:born on the 21st of See also:January 1802, in See also:Copenhagen, where his See also:father was pastor of the French See also:church. He was educated at See also:Paris and See also:Geneva, and began his See also:life-See also:work in 1825 as founder and pastor of a Protestant church in See also:Naples, whence he removed in 1827 to See also:Lyons. Here his evangelical See also:preaching, and especially a See also:sermon on the duties of communicants (" Qui doit cornmunier "?), led to his deposition by the See also:Catholic See also:Minister of See also:education and See also:religion. Instead of leaving Lyons he began to preach in a See also:hall and then in a See also:chapel. In 1836 he took a professorship in the theological See also:college of See also:Montauban, removing in 1847 to Paris as preacher at the Oratoire. He died on the 6th of See also:April, 1856. Monod was undoubtedly the foremost Protestant preacher of 19th-See also:century See also:France. He published three volumes of sermons in 1830, another, La Credulite de l'incredule in 1844, and two more in 1855. Two further volumes appeared after his See also:death. His See also:elder See also:brother See also:Frederic (1794–1863), who was influenced by See also:Robert See also:Haldane, was also a distinguished French pastor, who with See also:Count Gasparin founded the See also:Union of the Evangelical Churches of France; and Frederic's son See also:Theodore (b. 1836) followed in his footsteps.
