Massillon, Jean-Baptiste (1663–1742)

French preacher. He was a popular preacher at the court of Versailles. His sermons are moralizing and philosophical rather than dogmatic. He became bishop of Clermont in 1717.

He was born in Hyeres. He is best known for a course of Advent sermons, 1699, two courses of Lenten sermons (the Grand Careme, 1701, and the Petit Careme, 1718), and his funeral oration on Louis XIV (1715).
