The Academy was the home of Amyraldism, an important strand of Protestant thought of the seventeenth century. Also called Saumurianism or hypothetical universalism, it was a moderate Calvinist movement, remaining within Calvinism. The Helvetic Consensus and Westminster Confession were concerned to combat the tendency Amyraldism represented.
