La Peyrère Isaac (1596–1676), French religious writer, a Calvinist of probable Marrano extraction and a Catholic convert whose messianic and anthropological work (Men Before Adam, 1656) scandalized Jews, Catholics, and Protestants alike. Anticipating both ecumenism and Zionism, The Recall of the Jews (1643) claims that, together, converted Jews and Christians will usher in universal redemption. A threefold ‘salvation history’ undergirds La Peyrère’s ‘Marrano theology’: (1) election of the Jews; (2) their rejection and the election of the Christians; (3) the recall of the Jews. J.-L.S.
