Speelman deals with a central question in the intellectual history
of the sixteenth century: to what extent can Calvin be regarded as
responsible for the tendency in Calvinism or, more broadly, in
Reformed Protestantism, to form a church which has its own
ecclesiastical organization and office bearers? So far, claiming a
great deal of independence for the church has been considered an
important aspect of Calvin's legacy. In this line of reasoning, it
is assumed that Calvin was a strong opponent of the church as a
state organization that did not have its own governing body and
power of excommunication. To better understand this issue, the text
examines the position of the church within the city-state of Bern.
Secondly, it directs its attention to the manner in which Calvin
gave form to ecclesiastical life in Geneva. Next, it deals with the
church in France, and finally, it examines the influence of Calvin
and French Calvinism on the organization of the Reformed church in
The Netherlands in the 1570s.
