Dreyfus Affair erupted in the 1890s.[2]
Réville was born in
École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris.[4] He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1886.[5]
He was a prolific writer on the comparative history of world religions. In addition to the history of Christianity, he published on the native religions of Central America (about which he gave the 1884 Hibbert Lectures), Chinese religion[4] and the history of the idea of the Devil.
He was a notable advocate of
vision hypothesis, that the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus were historically due to a vision caused by nervous tension by Mary Magdalene and subsequent mass hysteria among the disciples.[6]
His son, Jean Réville, was also a theologian.[7]
