Gravesite of Eugène Ménégoz, Père Lachaise Cemetery (division 86).

With Louis Auguste Sabatier (1839–1921), he was originator of the French "Symbolo-Fideism" movement, a theological concept that was a union of symbolism and fideism. In his lectures and writings Ménégoz stressed that salvation was achieved through the act of faith independent of creed. A few of his more important publications were:

• L'autorité de Dieu, réflexions sur l'autorité en matière de foi (1892).
• La notion biblique du miracle (1894).
• Étude sur le dogmas de la Trinité (1898).
• Publications diverses sur le fidéisme et son application à l'enseignement chrétien traditionnel, 5 volumes (1900–21).
