thumb Philipp van Limborch (June 19, 1633 – April 30, 1712), Dutch Remonstrant theologian, was born at Amsterdam, where his father was a lawyer. He received his education at Utrecht, at Leiden, in his native city, and finally at Utrecht University, which he entered in 1652. In 1657 he became a Remonstrant pastor at Gouda, and in 1667 he was transferred to Amsterdam, where, in the following year, the office of professor of theology in the Remonstrant seminary was added to his pastoral charge. He was a friend of John Locke. He died at Amsterdam on the 30th of April 1712. ==Works== His most important work, ''Institutiones theologiae christianae, ad praxin pietatis et promotionem pacis, christianae unice directae'' (Amsterdam, 1686, 5th ed., 1735), is a full and clear exposition of the system of Simon Episcopius and Stephan Curcellaeus. The fourth edition (1715) included a posthumous ''Relatio historica de origine et progressu controversiarum in foederato Belgio de praedestinatione''. Limborch also wrote: *''De veritate religionis Christianae amica collatio cum erudito Judaeo'' (Gouda, 1687) (the "erudite Jew" in question was Isaac Orobio de Castro) *''Historia Inquisitionis'' (1692), in four books prefixed to the ''Liber Sententiarum Inquisitionis Tolosanae'' (1308–1323) *''Commentarius in Acta Apostolorum et in Epistolas ad Romanos et ad Hebraeos'' (Rotterdam, 1711) An English translation of the ''Theologia'' was published in 1702 by William Jones (''A Complete System or Body of Divinity, both Speculative and Practical, founded on Scripture and Reason'', London, 1702); and a translation of the ''Historia Inquisitionis'', by Samuel Chandler, with a large introduction concerning the rise and progress of persecution and the real and pretended causes of it prefixed, appeared in 1731.
