LINDER Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas 66506 For as long as people have discussed war, they have talked about it in terms of right and wrong. The sixteenth century was no exception. That century was an age of upheaval, unrest, and war. The religious leaders of the period could not avoid discussing the moral implications of the military conflicts of the time. Thousands of followers looked to them for guidance as they made their way through the moral quicksand of such questions as whether or not it was permissible for "a true Christian" to take arms and shed blood-and if so, under what circumstance^.^ 'This is a revision of a paper originally read on May 8, 1981, at the Spring Meeting of the American Society for Reformation Research in conjunction with the Sixteenth International Congress on Mediev2l Studies at Western Michigan Univer- sity. Grants from the Bureau of General Research of Kansas State University and the American Philosophical Society (the Penrose Fund) aided in the research which made this study possible.

We all admit it to have been so propagated from the beginning as to have continued through an uninterrupted series of ages down to our day and to be diffused at present over the whole world.1 These words, from John Calvin’s The True Method of bringing Peace and Reformation to the Church, cannot but seem surprising to the modern reader. How can Calvin, writing in the spring of 1549 from within Christian Europe, speak as if the church were a mysterious entity for which everyone was searching? The beginnings of an answer appear in Calvin’s The author wishes to thank the postgraduate reading group in the Department of Religion and Theology at University of Bristol for their insightful comments and questions related to an earlier version of this chapter.
