About me / Bio:
Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627–1704) was a French bishop, theologian, and renowned orator. He is considered one of the most brilliant speakers of all time and a master of French style. As court preacher to Louis XIV of France, Bossuet advocated for political absolutism and the divine right of kings. He believed that government was divinely ordained and that kings received sovereign power from God. His sermons and funeral panegyrics are among his notable literary works.
