A theological dictionary by Nicolas-Sylvestre Bergier, a French Catholic theologian. He was a critic of the philosophes, accusing them in particular of distorting the facts on social life in China and Confucianism. Bergier was born at Darney in Lorraine. After a course of theology at the University of Besançon, he received the degree of doctor, was ordained priest, and went to Paris to finish his studies. Returning to Besançon in 1748, he was given charge of a parish and later became president of the college of the city, which had formerly been under the direction of the Jesuits. In 1769, the Archbishop of Paris, Christophe de Beaumont, appointed him Canon of the Cathedral. He died at Versailles. A pious priest and an energetic student, he devoted a great part of his time to writing in defense of religion. He agreed to correct certain articles of the Encyclopédie, but found himself obliged to write entirely original articles which then formed the Dictionnaire de Theologie as a part of the Encyclopédie.
