Abstract

A French cardinal, among the main intellectuals of the French Counterreformation and the founder of the Oratoire de France. Bérulle’s thought is the fruit of an eclectic meeting between the scholastic tradition, looking back to its father figures (notably Augustin) and neo-Platonist Hermeticism. He is known as “the Apostle of the Word Incarnate” for his doctrine of the Incarnation of Christ.
