Daniel Tilenus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Tilenus (1563-1633) was a French Protestant theologian. Initially a Calvinist, he became a prominent and influential Arminian^[1], teaching at Sedan. He was an open critic of the Synod of Dort of 1618-9.

A long and divisive controversy with Pierre Du Moulin broke out in 1612.^[2] They had earlier, in 1601, been allies on the Huguenot side of a public disputation against the Catholic Du Perron and others.

He was on friendly terms with Hugo Grotius; they shared a house in 1622/3.
