Calvinism's influence and reputation have received ample scholarly
attention. But how John Calvin himself - his person, character, and
deeds - was remembered, commemorated, and memorialized, is a
question few historians have addressed. Focussing on the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, this volume aims to open up the subject
with chapters on Calvin's monumentalization in statues and museums,
his appearance in novels, children's books, and travel writing, his
iconic function for Hungarian nationalists and Presbyterian
missionaries to China, his reputation among Mormons and
freethinkers, and his rivalry with Michael Servetus in French
Protestant memory. The result is a fresh contribution to the field
of religious memory studies and an invitation to further
comparative research. Contributors include: R. Bryan Bademan,
Patrick Cabanel, R. Scott Clark, Thomas J. Davis, Stephen S.
Francis, Joe B. Fulton, Botond Gaal, Stefan Laube, Johan de Niet,
Herman Paul, James Rigney, Michele Sacquin, Jonathan Seitz, Robert
Vosloo, Bart Wallet, and Valentine Zuber.
