Bourdaloue, Louis

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Bourdaloue, Louis (1632–1704)

French Jesuit and preacher. His sermons, distinguished for their convincing argument and clarity of exposition, made an appeal to the reason rather than to the emotions, and are concerned with morals rather than dogma. He preached in Paris and at the court of Versailles.

After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, he went to the Languedoc, southern France, to take part in the work of converting Protestants to Catholicism.
