About Jacques-Béngine Bossuet

Jacques Benigne Bossuet (September 27, 1627–April 12, 1704) was bishop of Meaux in France. Bossuet was a theologian and French stylist and was known as a master orator—perhaps the best orator of all time. After his formal education, in preparation for the priesthood, Bossuet spent two years under the spiritual direction of St. Vincent de Paul.

Bossuet had an illustrious career from the very beginning. He was named archdeacon of Sarrebourg in January of 1652, defended his doctoral dissertation for his DD, and was ordained a priest two months later in March. He was tutor to the Dauphin of France from 1670–1681, and then became bishop of the diocese of Meaux. He was considered a brilliant and influential homilitician, many of his speeches, sermons, and lectures live on today. One of his translated works is Speech of Universal History.
