About Peter Allix

Peter Allix (1641–1717) was a pastor at Saint-Agobile Champagne, then at Charenton, before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 forced him to relocate to London. In London, he started a church for French exiles, and continued to preach and write. His other works included The Judgment of the Ancient Jewish Church against the Unitarians, Reflections upon the Books of the Holy Scripture, and Remarks upon the Ecclesiastical History of the Ancient Churches of the Albigenses.
