Amyraut had left the choice to the synod.

Moses Amyraut, originally a lawyer, but converted to the study of theology by the reading of Calvin's ' Institutes ', an able divine and voluminous writer, developed the doctrine of hypothetical or conditional universalism, for which his teacher, John Cameron ( 1580 – 1625 ), a Scot, and for two years Headmaster of Saumur Academy, had prepared the way.

In Australia, many in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney hold to a modified " four point " Calvinism, while in England, one author tirelessly promotes Amyraldism in self-published pamphlets such as Amyraut Affirmed.

The friends of Amyraut urged the love, benevolence, and impartial justice of God as well as the numerous passages in Scripture which teach that God loves ' the whole world ', that he will have'all men to be saved ', that Christ died ' not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world ', that ' he shut up all in unbelief that he might have mercy upon all '.

Another historic part filled by Amyraut was in the negotiations originated by Pierre le Gouz de la Berchère ( 1600 – 1653 ), first president of the parlement of Grenoble, when exiled to Saumur, for a reconciliation and reunion of the Catholics of France with the French Protestants.

Very large were the concessions made by Richelieu in his personal interviews with Amyraut ; but, as with the Worcester House negotiations in England between the Church of England and nonconformists, they inevitably fell through.

On all sides the statesmanship and eloquence of Amyraut were conceded.

** Moses Amyraut, French Protestant theologian ( d. 1664 )

The School of Saumur is the name used to denote a distinctive form of Reformed theology taught by Moses Amyraut at the University of Saumur in the 17th century.

Moses Amyraut ( 1596-1664 ), after whom Amyraldism is named.

Named after its formulator Moses Amyraut, this doctrine is still viewed as a variety of Calvinism in that it maintains the particularity of sovereign grace in the application of the atonement.

Amyraut maintained the Calvinistic premises of an eternal foreordination and foreknowledge of God, whereby he caused all things to pass, the good efficiently, the bad permissively.

Amyraut distinguished between objective grace which is offered to all, and subjective grace in the heart which is given only to the elect.

As regards the result, Amyraut agreed with the particularists.

The national Synods at Alençon, 1637 ; at Charenton, 1645 ; and at Loudun, 1659 ( the last synod permitted by the French government ), decided against the excommunication of Amyraut but delimited his views in order to avoid further variance with historic Reformed orthodoxy.
