SABATIER, See also:LOUIS AUGUSTE (1839-1901) , See also:French Protest-See also:ant theologian, was See also:born at Vallon (See also:Ardeche), in the See also:Cevennes, on the 22nd of See also:October 1839, and was educated at the See also:Protestant theological See also:faculty of See also:Montauban and the See also:universities of See also:Tubingen and See also:Heidelberg. After holding the pastorate at See also:Aubenas in the Ardeche from 1864 to 1868 he was appointed See also:professor of reformed dogmatics in the theological faculty of See also:Strassburg. His markedly French sympathies during the See also:war of 1870 led to his See also:expulsion from Strassburg in 1872. After five years' effort he succeeded in establishing a Protestant theological faculty in See also:Paris, and became professor and then See also:dean. In 1886 he became a teacher in the newly founded religious See also:science See also:department of the 1 See also:cole See also:des Hautes Etudes of the See also:Sorbonne. Among his See also:chief See also:works were The Apostle See also:Paul (3rd ed., 1896); Memoire sur la notion hebraique de l'Esprit (1879); See also:Les Origines litteraires de l'See also:Apocalypse (1888) ; The Vitality of See also:Christian Dogmas and their See also:Power of See also:Evolution (189o); See also:Religion and See also:Modern Culture (1897); See also:Historical Evolution of the See also:Doctrine of the See also:Atonement (1903); Outlines of a See also:Philosophy of Religion (1897); and his See also:posthumous Religions of Authority and the Religion of the Spirit (1904), to which his colleague See also:Jean See also:Reville prefixed a See also:short memoir. These works show Sabatier as "at once an accomplished dialectician and a mystic in the best sense of the word." He died on the 12th of See also:April 1901. On his See also:theology see E. Menegoz in Expository Times, xv. 3o, and G. B. See also:Stevens in Hibbert See also:Journal (April 1903).

His See also:

brother, PAUL SABATIER, was born at St See also:Michel de Chabrillanoux in the Cevennes on the 3rd of See also:August 1858, and was educated at the faculty of theology in Paris. In 1885 he became See also:vicar of St See also:Nicolas, Strassburg, and in 1889, declining an offer of preferment which was conditional on his becoming a See also:German subject, he was expelled. For four years he was pastor of St Cierge in the Cevennes and then devoted himself entirely to historical See also:research. He had already produced an edition of the See also:Didache, and in See also:November 1893 published his important See also:Life of St See also:Francis d'See also:Assisi. This See also:book gave a See also:great stimulus to the study of See also:medieval See also:literary and religious documents, especially of such as are connected with the See also:history of the Franciscan See also:Order. In 1908 he delivered the See also:Jowett Lectures on Modernism at the Passmore See also:Edwards See also:Settlement, See also:London.
