Note: Isaac-Joseph Berruyer (1681-1758) was a French Jesuit historian. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1697. His great work is “A History of the People of God”, published in three parts. The first of these parts bears the title “Histoire du peuple de Dieu depuis son origine jusqu’à la venue du Messie”. Next followed, a supplement, containing a continuation of the prophecies of the Old Testament, the History of Job, maps necessary for understanding the sacred history, etc. By 1736, seven editions of the work had been issued. It was translated into German, Italian, Spanish, and Polish. The second part of the “history” was: “Histoire du peuple de Dieu depuis la naissance du Messie jusqu’à la fin de la Synagogue”. According to Augustin de Backer this second part of the History was published without the knowledge, and against the will, of the superiors in the Jesuit house in Paris. Berruyer put his name to only a small number of copies of this publication. The third part of the work has the title, “Histoire du peuple de Dieu, ou paraphrase des Épitres des Apôtres”.
