The Cambridge History of Christianity
This authoritative volume presents the history of Christianity from the eve of the Protestant Reformation to the height of Catholic Reform. In addition to in-depth coverage of the politics and theology of various reform movements in the sixteenth century, this book discusses at length the impact of the permanent schism on Latin Christendom, the Catholic responses to it, and the influence on the development of the Orthodox churches. This comprehen…

Adultery and Divorce in Calvin's Geneva.
Calvin and the Consolidation of the Genevan Reformation.
Factionalism - the Genevan disease Calvin and his colleagues Calvin and the magistrates - the first crisis Geneva - hospitality and xenophobia the pastors - ministers or masters? Calvin and the magistrates - the final crisis Calvin triumphant.

Adultery and Divorce in Calvin's Geneva
Overview: This book makes two major contributions to our understanding of this time. The first is to the history of divorce. The second is in illustrating the operations of the Consistory of Geneva - an institution designed to control in all its variety the behavior of the entire population - which was established at Calvin's insistence in 1541. This mandate came shortly after the city officially adopted Protestantism in 1536, when divorce became…

Always Among Us: Images of the Poor in Zwingli's Zurich.
Calvinism and resistance theory, 1550–1580
The second generation of the Reformation was dominated by the followers of John Calvin. Calvin, to be sure, was but one of a number of theologians who provided intellectual leadership to the new type of Protestantism that emerged in these years. And he built upon a base that had already been constructed by Huldreich Zwingli in Zurich, Martin Bucer in Strasburg, and others. But he achieved such prominence within the movement, both among its advoca…

Myths About the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacres, 1572–1576
An epochal event in French history, the St. Bartholomew's Day religious massacres are still the subject of controversy. A leading historian of the early modern period, Robert Kingdon, writes about the reactions to the massacres that were published at the time, showing how the relatively new medium of print was used by the Protestants to shape reaction to the catastrophe an early example of the printing press as an agent of social and political ch…

The Political Resistance of the Calvinists in France and the Low Countries
It seems to me that much can be learned by comparative studies of the histories of the several European countries, and that this is particularly true of their political histories during the sixteenth century. A stimulating start in this direction was made by H. G. Koenigsberger in an article in The Journal of Modern History, titled "The Organization of Revolutionary Parties in France and the Netherlands during the Sixteenth Century." I would like…
The Church: Ideology or Institution
I am greatly honored but a bit puzzled to find myself president of the American Society of Church History. Most of my predecessors in this position have been professors within theological faculties or departments of religion. Even those who have been, like me, members of secular departments of history, have generally received some formal instruction in religious studies. But this year you have chosen a president who is entirely secular in both ed…
Protestant Parishes in the Old World and the New: The Cases of Geneva and Boston
There can be little doubt that for centuries the most important single unit of the Christian church has been the parish. It is surely the most fundamental of the structures upon which the institutional church has been built. Only by studying closely the parish and what goes on within it can we gain a real appreciation of what religion has meant and continues to mean to the average Christian at the grass roots level. It is somewhat surprising, giv…
Was the protestant reformation a revolution? The case of Geneva
The problem which I wish to consider is the problem of deciding whether the protestant reformation was a revolution. The problem should be of interest to a number of different scholars. There is no obvious reason, however, why it should interest those who define themselves primarily as ecclesiastical historians. I believe, however, that there is an ecclesiastical dimension to this problem and that earlier work upon it is flawed by a failure to re…
Laissez-Faire or Government Control: A Problem for John Wesley
Many students of John Wesley have examined his economic ideas;2few have appreciated their range. At least three sources molded the economic thought of the founder of Methodism. Only one of them, the Christian ethical tradition, has been studied with sufficient care. It was, to be sure, the first and most prominent source. But it was followed, first by Wesley's reaction to certain acute social problems which forced themselves on his attention duri…

Some French Reactions to the Council of Trent
In this age of growing ecumenicism, many scholars are turning to the history of the sixteenth century for a fresh examination of the origins of those ideas and institutions which continue to divide the Christian community. During these years of the widely publicized meetings of an ecumenical council sponsored by the Roman Catholic Church, many are turning specifically to the canons and decrees drafted by the Council of Trent for a fresh study of …

These reforms, moreover, influenced the policies not only of other cities, but also of royal governments. The imperial edict on poor relief in th…
