Philipp van Limborch was born on June 19, 1633 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Philipp van Limborch received his education at Utrecht, at Leiden, in his native city, and finally at Utrecht University, which he entered in 1652.
In 1657 Philipp van Limborch became a Remonstrant pastor at Gouda, and in 1667 he was transferred to Amsterdam, where, in the following year, the office of professor of theology in the Remonstrant seminary was added to his pastoral charge.
His most important work, Institutiones theologiae christianae, ad praxin pietatis et promotionem pads , christianae unice directae (Amsterdam, 1686, 5th ed. , 1735), is a full and clear exposition of the system of Simon Episcopius and Stephan Curcellaeus. The fourth edition (1715) included a posthumous " Relatio historica de origine et progressu controversiarum in foederato Belgio de prae- destinatione. " Limborch also wrote De veritate religionis Christianae arnica collatio cum erudito Judaeo (Gouda, 1687); Historia Jnquisi- tionis (1692), in four books prefixed to the " Liber Sententiarum Inquisitionis Tolosanae " (1307 - 1323); and Commentarius in Acta Apostolorum et in Epistolas ad Romanos et ad Hebraeos (Rotterdam, 1711).
