description: "Jean Le Clerc, also Johannes Clericus, was a Genevan theologian, biblical scholar, and journalist. He was famous for promoting exegesis, or critical interpretation of the Bible, and was a radical of his age. He parted with Calvinism over his interpretations and left Geneva for that reason. He was a propagator of John Locke's philosophy and of Isaac Newton's physics."
