Summary/Abstract: Nicolas-Sylvestre Bergier was an eighteenth-century Catholic priest whose numerous writ-ings defending the Christian faith against deistic and atheistic criticisms were very popularand highly valued in his time. In his discussion of the existence of God and His attributes,Bergier relied on the concept of infinity. The article discusses his interpretation of this con-cept, pointing to some possible problems that result from equating infinity with perfection.
