Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Calvin a Strasbourg" is a significant historical exploration of the crucial years John Calvin spent in the city of Strasbourg between 1538 and 1541. This work by Jacques Pannier examines a period often described as the most peaceful and productive of the Reformer's life. After being expelled from Geneva, Calvin found a spiritual and intellectual home in Strasbourg, where he served as a pastor to French refugees and collaborated with other leading figures of the Reformation, such as Martin Bucer.The text provides a detailed analysis of how this environment influenced Calvin's thought, particularly regarding church liturgy, organization, and the relationship between church and state. It highlights the development of his theological writing, including the expansion of his masterwork, the "Institutes of the Christian Religion". Pannier's study sheds light on the personal growth of Calvin and the formative experiences that would eventually shape his return to Geneva. This book is an essential resource for students of the Reformation, church history, and the evolution of Protestant theology in the sixteenth century, offering a window into the cultural and religious vitality of Strasbourg as a haven for Reformist ideas.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
