Huguenot pastor Jean Jembelin and his sermons: part 1. Normandy 1676–1685
View through CrossRef
This article (the second part of which will be published in this Journal in 2025) discusses Huguenot pastor Jean Jembelin and the sermons he preached between 1676 and 1727. Jembelin, a native of Caen (Normandy), began his ministry in nearby Bernières in 1676 and moved to serve the church of Saint-Lô in 1680. Jembelin recorded 146 of his sermons in a large volume, Lambeth Palace Library MS 3976, which has been newly catalogued. The sermons he recorded include two he preached at provincial synods, Quevilly in September 1677, and Alençon in 1678, and another that he preached in the presence of magistrates in July 1683. Never intended for publication, the manuscript is a rare survival from this period of censorship and persecution in France. It provides a unique insight into Jembelin’s preaching ministry in the years leading up to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes on 15 October 1685.
