Description

Calvinism in Europe, 1540-1620 by Andrew Pettegree This collection of essays explores the complex phenomenon of Calvinism in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The impact of Calvin's writings, the role of Calvinism in higher education, and the experiences of reformed preachers in different settings are among the topics examined. The book sheds light on the diverse ways in which Calvinism shaped the religious and social landscape of Europe during this period. The contributors to this volume present the results of their research on societies as varied as France, Germany, Highland Scotland, and Hungary. By examining these local contexts, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the Calvinist International and its connections with merchants, scholars, and other groups.
