Benedict Pictet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benedict Pictet (1655–1724) was a Genevan Reformed theologian.
He was born at Geneva on 19 May 1655. After receiving a university education there, he made an extensive tour of Europe. He then assumed pastoral duties at Geneva, and in 1686 was appointed professor of theology. He died there on 10 January 1724, at the age of 68.[1] Pictet was a nephew of Francis Turretin, who called him to "his bedside when dying, not his son," and Pictet preached his uncle's funeral sermon.[2]
