Jean de Labadie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean de Labadie (1610-1674) was a 17th century French mystic. Originally a Roman Catholic priest, became a member of the Reformed Church c. 1650.
Labedie combined the influences of Jansenism and Reformed Pietism, developing an other-worldly Christian mysticism. Labadie's teachings, known as Labadism, gained hold in the Netherlands. There the Labadists were dedicated to communal property and familial rights. The movement was defunct by 1732.
Labadie's most influential writing was The Reform of the Church Through the Pastorate (1667).
