  • The Synod of Dort, the Westminster Assembly, and the French Reformed Church, 1618-431 MICHAEL DEWAR
    The Synod of Dort, the Westminster Assembly, and the French Reformed Church, 1618-431 MICHAEL DEWAR The European Background In an age of ecumenical councils, from 'Edinburgh, 1910' and 'Amsterdam, 1948' to 'Vatican II', and beyond, it is often forgotten that the Reformers, insular and continental, were no less 'ecumenically' minded in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Richard Baxter wrote, 'The Christian world, since the days of the Apostles, had never a Synod of more excellent divines, taking one thing with another, than this [of Westminster] and the Synod of Dort. '2 These were the nearest to the Council of Trent that Protes­ tantism was to see. Yet earlier correspondence between Geneva and Canterbury shows that closer union might have been possible three generations before. Calvin had written to Cranmer, 'if I can be of any service, I shall not shrink from crossing ten seas, if need be for that object' ,3 (that is, of uniting the Reformed Churches). This was in 1552, the 'high tide' of Anglican Reformation, with Melanchthon and Bull­ inger for Cranmer's 'Lambeth Confere~e· also. It is tragic that this ideal, so broadly based on international and eirenic lines, came to nothing until Protestantism at home and abroad was hopelessly divided. For it cannot be urged that the 'Dordrace­ nists' and the Westminster Fathers were other than polemical in their intentions, and divisive in their results. The sixteenth century left the Reformed Churches inclusive and international. The seventeenth century left them enfeebled but embattled, exclusive and nationalistic. The Synod of Dort, 1618 Inevitably Calvinism was closely equated with Netherlands National­ ism.

A palace school was established by the Franks for the training of princes and nobles ; when Charlemagne ap pointed Alcuin as its superintendent, it rapidly became a great centre of learning. The palace school was founded by one of the pre decessors of Charlemagne for the training of the sons of princes and nobles. As a court school it moved about with the monarch from place to place. Charlemagne himself was trained there.1 He had some knowledge of Greek as well as Latin, and studied with the grammarian, Peter of Pisa ; possibly also with Paul the Deacon (t 797), a Benedictine monk and noted Lombard scholar, who taught Greek at his court for a time, and afterwards wrote a history of the Lombards.

  • International Calvinism and the Making of Puritan New England ( インターナショナル・カルヴィニズムと ピューリタン・ニューイングランドの形成 )
    David D. Hall International Calvinism and the Making of Puritan New England ( インターナショナル・カルヴィニズムと ピューリタン・ニューイングランドの形成 ) David D. Hall* Christianity is a religion that has been restlessly expansive ever since it originated in ancient Palestine. The fi rst phase of that expansion saw it spread from Palestine to Asia Minor and the eastern Mediterranean. Several centuries later, it was taking root in western Europe and parts of Africa. Yet another major phase of expansion accompanied the age of exploration that began c. 1450, a period that saw Christianity implanted in the Americas and parts of Asia. Up to this point, Christianity in the west was synonymous with Roman Catholicism; indeed, to this day, Catholicism remains the most visible version of Christianity as a world-spanning religion. But ever since the fracturing of Christianity between Catholics and Protestants in the sixteenth century, Catholicism has had to compete against three main versions of Protestantism: Lutheran, Reformed, and “radical” or Free. Of these three, the Reformed has had a special signifi cance in British North America. Before any of its adherents arrived in the New World, the Reformed had come to power in several Swiss city-states or federations, most famously, Geneva, in much of Rhineland Germany, and in the northern provinces of the Low Countries that broke off from the Spanish empire and became an independent country at the end of the sixteenth century (the United Provinces or the Netherlands). Always subordinate to Catholicism in France, it became the official form of Christianity in Scotland as a consequence of the Scottish Reformation (c.

    H-France Review Volume 17 (2017) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 17 (January 2017), No. 10 Olivier Fatio, Louis Tronchin: Une transition calvinienne. Paris: Classiques Garnier, 2015. 1,143 pp. Collection: Histoire des temps modernes, 2. Bibliography and index nominum. 83.00 € (pb) IBSN 978-2- 8124-4622-1. Review by Michaël Green, University of Cordoba. Professor Olivier Fatio is a distinguished theologian from the University of Geneva. Throughout his academic career, he has focused on early modern theology, which is also the subject of the present book. As Fatio states in his preface, this book is the fruit of thirty years of work. Indeed, it is a remarkable achievement, as its 1,143 pages are dense with information on the seventeenth-century Genevan theologian and professor Louis Tronchin. As the title suggests, the main purpose of the author is to elucidate the transition and the development of Tronchin’s theological ideas. Louis Tronchin was born on 4 December 1629 to the pastor and theologian Theodore Tronchin, professor at the Academy of Geneva, a tough father, but a man of theological reputation. His mother, Theodora Rocca, came from a family of religious refugees from Piedmont. Louis studied theology at the academy where his father taught, became a pastor, and then embarked on a Grand Tour, which included London and Leiden. He continued his studies at the renowned Huguenot academy of Saumur, where at the time the principal was Moses Amyraut. After returning to Geneva in 1662, Tronchin served as pastor and then as rector of the Genevan Academy until 1668.

Early in the beginning of the present year, the Executive Com- mittee of the Huguenot Society of America determined to com- memorate the Bi-Centenary Anniversary of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which fell on the 22d day of October, 1885, by religious services, and an oration and addresses proper for the occasion. Desiring that all those of Huguenot origin, residing in the United States, whether members of the Society or not, should be represented at, and take part in, the commemoration, the Society, through its Executive Committee, directed the following invitation to be sent to gentlemen living in the original Huguenot centres or settlements : New York City, June, 1885.

  • Memorials of the Huguenots in America
    MEMORIALS OF THE HUGUENOTS IN AMERICA By Rev. A. Stapleton 1901 CHAPTER I Extending From the Beginning of the French Reformation to the Promulgation of the Edict of Nantes--1510--1598 [Page 1-10] "Great truths are dearly bought, Not found by chance; Nor wafted in the breath of summer dream, But grasped in the great struggle of the soul, Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream." --Anon. The sixteenth century is one of the most notable periods of all history. The discovery of America, the invention of the art of printing and other elements had awakened a spirit of universal inquiry and independence of thought throughout the world. The great masses began to realize that their consciences were dominated by the priests, while their lords regarded them as vassals and mere chattels. No particular country can be said to be the cradle of the Reformation. The time for which Providence paved the way was ripe, and, like a mighty torrent, broke away from human restraint and flooded the world with the blessings of the pure gospel. 1 When Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five proposition on the Schloss Kirche at Wittemberg in 1517, the gates of the reservoir were opened, where before the waters had, so to speak, only overflowed the banks. Our aim will be simply to trace, in brief, the Reformation in France, leaving the reader to seek information concerning the work in other countries from other sources. Reformation Begins at Meaux The Reformation in France first established itself in the department of Meaux, and from thence spread rapidly.
