Marie Huber Explained

Marie Huber (4 March 1695  - 13 June 1753) was a Genevan writer on theology and related subjects, as well as a translator and editor, at a time when it was rare for a female writer to write about theology.[1] [2] [3]

Huber was a proponent of universalism, and was considered by some a deist. Her Letters Concerning the Religion Essential to Man (1761) are known to have been read, in translation, by Robert Burns.[4]

She was one of 15 children, and was the great-aunt of François Huber, the naturalist.[5] [6] [7]
