I had previously served as translator and English-language editor for another work edited by Professor Gilmont, The Reformation and the Book, published by Ashgate in 1999. Professor Gilmont is one of the foremost experts on Calvin’s writings and I deeply appreciated the opportunity to translate this current text. I wish to thank five students at Calvin College who helped with various stages of the project over the course of four summers: Ruth Speyer (2002), Joshua Wierenga (2003), Jeff Rop and Allison Graff (2004), and Lauren Colyn (2005). They proofread sections and suggested changes, typed and verified footnotes, and helped to create the bibliography. Without their able assistance, the project would have taken much longer. Susan Schmurr, the Meeter Center program coordinator, also valiantly typed large sections of the text and helped work on the bibliography. I take responsibility for any remaining flaws in the translation. I am also deeply grateful to Raymond Mentzer, general editor of the Sixteenth Century Essays and Studies series, and to the staff at the Truman State University Press for their interest in this work and their help throughout the publishing process. It is my hope that this work will prove to be a valuable resource for English- speaking students, Reformation scholars, and general readers who want to learn more about what Calvin read and wrote, and how he interacted with the world of print.

Thanks to his strong personality, he established and shaped a confessional branch of the Christian church, a branch that has become firmly rooted and has flourished throughout the centuries. At the same time, the Reformer from Noyon was himself rooted in a specific historical context. He influenced his contemporaries and future generations by mak- ing use of the techniques of his day. In this work, I intend to analyze one of the media

Historians rarely offer more than a brief biography and often neglect to mention at all his key role in the Great Schism. Yet, the very absence ofPope Benoit XIU from most historical narratives of medieval history itself highlights the active role that historians play in determining what gets recorded. In some cases, the choices that people make in determining what does, and what does not, get included in historical accounts reveals as much about the motivations and intentions of the people recording that past as it does about their subjects. This essay studies one example of this problem, in this case Europeans during the Reformation era who self-consciously manipulated sources from medieval history to promote their own agendas. We can see this in the sixteenth-century translation ofa treatise written by the medieval theologian Nicholas de Clamanges (1363-1437. Clamanges was a university professor and served as Benoit XIII's secretary during the Great Schism in Avignon, France. The treatise, entitled La Traite de fa Ruine de f'Eglise, was written in Latin in 1398 and was first distributed after Clamanges' death in 1437.

  • Confessions, Conscience, and Coercion in the Early Calvin
    chapter 9 Confessions, Conscience, and Coercion in the Early Calvin John L. Thompson However radical or innovative the Reformation may have been in its doc- trine of justification or in its ecclesiology, it is commonly supposed that the Reformers did not wish to renegotiate Christianity’s credal core. Evidence of one sort might be inferred from the presence of the Apostles’ Creed as a standard component of Protestant catechesis.1 Still, it’s a rare generalization that does not fray at its edges. Certainly, in his 1536 Institutes, Calvin presented himself as firmly in the camp of Nicene orthodoxy.2 But the following year saw Calvin caught in circumstances that suggested some diffidence regarding both the form and substance of the Nicene Creed – circumstances that also exposed some ironies, if not inconsistencies, in his notion of how confessions ought to function. On the one hand, salvation by grace through faith frees the sinner’s conscience from the bondage of fear and guilt, as well as from the bur- den of “human traditions.” On the other hand, Calvin recognized, for a church to function decently and in order,3 one could not fairly claim membership and yet refuse to avow the very confession of faith on which the church’s identity rested – even if that confession were, technically, not God’s inspired word but rather a product of human wordsmiths, an artifact of human tradition. This essay will explore some documents from Calvin’s early years in order to map his developing thought on the intersection of conscience and coercion. These writings promise a glimpse of Calvin’s thought at a time when he was much in transition: as newly-hired in Geneva, soon-to-be fired from Geneva, on temporary assignment in Strasbourg – these are well-known details.

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.

  • “If Luther Will Accept Us with Our Confession …”: the Eucharistic Controversy in Calvin’S Correspondence up to 1546
    “If Luther will accept us with our confession …”: The Eucharistic controversy in Calvin’s correspondence up to 1546 Alasdair Heron (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany)1 Visiting Professor, Department of Dogmatics and Ethics University of Pretoria Abstract The article explores Calvin's attitude to the Eucharistic controversy between Wittenberg and Zurich in the years up till Luther's death in 1546. The main source is Calvin’s letters from that period, which cast a differentiated light on his aims, hopes and disappointments on the question as well as on his relations to other leading Reformers. Account is also taken of several recent publications, which suggest revision of some long-standing views in Calvin scholarship. 1. INTRODUCTION Early in 1536, at the age of only 26, the young John Calvin published the first edition of his Christianae Religionis Institutio2 and thereby made his first prominent entrance on the public stage of protestant theology – the setting among other things of the Eucharistic controversy between Luther and his followers and the adherents of Zwingli in Switzerland and southern Germany. It is not therefore surprising that already in this early work Calvin took up a 1 Prof Dr Alasdair I C Heron, is Chairperson of Reformed Theology (Lehrstuhl für Reformierte Theologie) at the Institut für Systematische Theologie, Friedrich-Alexander Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.

  • Censorship, Executions, and Sacrilege: the First Twenty Years of Protestant History in France
    TTJ 13.2 (2010): 152-172 ISSN 1598-7140 Censorship, Executions, and Sacrilege: The First Twenty Years of Protestant History in France Lauren J. Kim Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology, Korea In November 1533, John Calvin (1509-1564) and his friend, Nico- las Cop (ca. 1505-1540), fled Paris. Cop gave an audacious Lutheran speech as the new rector of the University of Paris on All Saints’ Day. It was reasonable that they absconded: to espouse Martin Luther’s beliefs, let alone to quote him publicly, was illegal in France.1 However, the con- tumacious speech did not change France’s religious topography; it did not start a revolution. Rather, the famous event sparked Calvin’s itiner- ant years that eventually led him to Geneva. Calvin’s Parisian escape frames this paper. The question that this study hopes to answer is, “What was the larger socio-political environment that Calvin ran away from?” The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the official persecution of the crown against the Protestants by mainly discussing royal decrees. This paper is not about emigration rather it sets the tone for why French Protestants and Christian humanists moved: to avoid persecution. We will focus on the first twenty years of the Reformation in order to understand the strong impetus for Protestants to relocate into safer territories.2 The French monarchy and other attached ruling bodies persecuted the Protestant community openly first with edicts that suppressed Lutheran books followed by decrees that punished evangelicals by execution. Thus the second part of this paper will briefly 1.
