John Calvin in Context offers a comprehensive overview of Calvin's
world. Including essays from social, cultural, feminist, and
intellectual historians, each specially commissioned for this
volume, the book considers the various early modern contexts in
which Calvin worked and wrote. It captures his concerns for
Northern humanism, his deep involvement in the politics of Geneva,
his relationships with contemporaries, and the polemic necessities
of responding to developments in Rome and other Protestant sects,
notably Lutheran and Anabaptist. The volume also explores Calvin's
tasks as a pastor and doctor of the church, who was constantly
explicating the text of scripture and applying it to the context of
sixteenth-century Geneva, as well as the reception of his role in
the Reformation and beyond. Demonstrating the complexity of the
world in which Calvin lived, John Calvin in Context serves as an
essential research tool for scholars and students of early modern
Europe.
