'''Paul Sabatier''' ([[August 3]], [[1858]] - [[March 4]], [[1928]]), was a [[France|French]] clergyman and historian who produced the first modern biography of St. Francis of Assisi. He is the brother of [[Auguste Sabatier]].
He was born at St. Michel de Chabrillanoux in the [[Cévennes]], and was educated at the faculty of theology in [[Paris]]. In [[1885]] he became vicar of St Nicolas, [[Strasbourg]], but in [[1889]], declining an offer of preferment which was conditional on his becoming a [[Germany|German]] subject, he was expelled.
For four years he was pastor of St. Cierge in the Cévennes and then devoted himself entirely to historical research. He had already produced an edition of the ''[[Didache]]'', and in November [[1893]] published his important ''Life of [[Francis of Assisi]]''. This book gave a great stimulus to the study of [[medieval]] literary and religious documents, especially of such as are connected with the history of the [[Franciscan]] Order. In 1908 he delivered the [[Benjamin Jowett|Jowett]] Lectures on [[Modernism]] at the [[Passmore Edwards Settlement]], London.
In [[1919]], Sabatier became professor of Protestant theology at Strasbourg.
