  • Between hope and despair

    Open AccessOle Peter GrellCHAPTERFeeling Exclusion2019

    ‘Between Hope and Despair’ charts and explains the emotional journey undertaken by persecuted German Calvinists during the Thirty Years War. It shows how despite their sense of election and belonging to God’s chosen people, who were at the centre of the last Apocalyptic battle between Christ and Antichrist, these Calvinist refugees oscillated between hope and despair, depending on the fortunes of war and their chances of returning to “the promise…

  • The New Cambridge History of the Bible

    Open AccessAlastair Hamilton, Jill Kraye et al.BOOKNew Cambridge History of the Bible2016

    This volume charts the Bible's progress from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. During this period, for the first time since antiquity, the Latin Church focused on recovering and re-establishing the text of Scripture in its original languages. It considered the theological challenges of treating Scripture as another ancient text edited with the tools of philology. This crucial period also saw the creation of many definitive translat…

    Open AccessOle Peter GrellBOOKBrethren in Christ2011

    This groundbreaking book explores the migration of Calvinist refugees in Europe during the Reformation, across a century of persecution, exile and minority existence. Ole Peter Grell follows the fortunes of some of the earliest Reformed merchant families, forced to flee from the Tuscan city of Lucca during the 1560s, through their journey to France during the Wars of Religion to the St Bartholomew Day Massacre and their search for refuge in Sedan…

  • The creation of a transnational, Calvinist network and its significance for Calvinist identity and interaction in early modern Europe

    Ole Peter GrellARTICLEEuropean Review of History Revue…2009Cited by: 2

    This article argues that early modern Calvinism in particular can lay claim to a transnational space in history. It focuses on how a Calvinist transnational network came into existence during the second half of the sixteenth century. It points to the role of repeated persecution, exodus and emigration in shaping both Calvinist theology and culture. Without this transnational experience of repeated emigration and persecution the international soli…

    Most are to be found in the chronology; where, p. 316, Diocles is credited with the first Green Herbal (read "Greek anatomy"); plague in Britain ends in 1392; and syphilis breaks out in 1490.The decision to insert all entries referring to a century at the head of entries for that century, and to place individuals by their date of birth results in some curious juxtapositions.Misprints are commendably few: I enjoyed quaiacam, p. 342, and the index …

  • Tolerance and Intolerance in the European Reformation

    Open AccessHeiko A Oberman, William Monter et al.BOOKTolerance and Intolerance in the…1996

    This volume offers a re-interpretation of the role of tolerance and intolerance in the European Reformation. It questions the traditional notion of a progressive development towards greater religious toleration from the beginning of the sixteenth century onwards. Instead, it places incidents of religious tolerance and intolerance in their specific social and political contexts. Fifteen leading scholars offer a comprehensive interpretation of this…

  • Exile and tolerance

    Open AccessOle Peter GrellCHAPTERTolerance and Intolerance in the…1996

    Exile is an experience very much constitutive of the 'Second Reformation', starting with Calvin's own flight from France to Basle in 1536 and ending with the exodus of Calvinists from the German Palatinate during the Thirty Years' War. Furthermore, between these events we have the mass emigration to Germany, England and the United Provinces of members of the Reformed communities in Southern Netherlands and France. Undoubtedly this shared social e…

    Open AccessMartin Schwarz Lausten, E I KOURI et al.BOOKScandinavian Reformation1994

    When Martin Luther's protest began making an impact in Scandinavia in the 1520s, this region belonged to the religious and political periphery of Europe. A century later the Nordic countries had become of paramount importance to European Protestantism, and it was the intervention of Lutheran Scandinavia in the Thirty Years' War which helped secure the survival of European Protestantism. This volume describes how the Nordic countries came to be so…

    In the generation that followed Martin Luther's protest the evangelical movement in Europe attracted very different levels of support in different parts of the continent. Whereas in eastern and central Europe the new movement brought a swift transformation of the religious and political landscape, progress elsewhere was more halting: in the Mediterranean lands and western Europe initial enthusiasm for reform failed to bring about the wholesale re…
