"In 1798, members of the United Irishmen were massacred by the British amid the crumbling walls of a half-built town near Waterford in Ireland. Many of the Irish were republicans inspired by the French Revolution, and the site of their demise was known as Genevan Barracks. The Barracks were the remnants of an experimental community called New Geneva, a settlement of Calvinist republican rebels who fled the continent in 1782. The British believed that the rectitude and industriousness of these imported revolutionaries would have a positive effect on the Irish populace. The experiment was abandoned, however, after the Calvinists demanded greater independence and more state money for their project. Terrorists, Anarchists, and Republicans tells the story of a utopian city inspired by a spirit of liberty and republican values being turned into a place where republicans who had fought for liberty were extinguished by the might of empire. Richard Whatmore brings to life a violent age in which powerful states like Britain and France intervened in the affairs of smaller, weaker countries, justifying their actions on the grounds that they were stopping anarchists and terrorists from destroying society, religion and government. The Genevans and the Irish rebels, in turn, saw themselves as advocates of republican virtue, willing to sacrifice themselves for liberty, rights and the public good. Terrorists, Anarchists, and Republicans shows how the massacre at Genevan Barracks marked an end to the old Europe of diverse political forms, and the ascendancy of powerful states seeking empire and markets--in many respects the end of Enlightenment itself"--

La Réforme calviniste se caractérise avant tout par l'attention qu’elle porte à la discipline de l’Église mise en oeuvre par les cours ecclésiastiques connues sous le nom de consistoires. Le consistoire de Genève servit de modèle et d’institution mère à travers le monde calviniste. Dans son livre, Robert M. Kingdom passe en revue les fondements théoriques de cette importance accordée à la discipline et observe comment la théorie fut mise en pratique par Jean Calvin dans la Réforme genevoise. Le Professeur Kingdom examine ensuite la façon dont le consistoire de Genève ainsi que les pasteurs et les conseillers qui le composaient réformèrent la pratique religieuse, l’éducation religieuse et les pratiques matrimoniales. Enfin, Robert Kingdon utilise le sentiment de haine comme un prisme à travers lequel il étudie la manière dont Calvin et ses compagnons essayent de modifier les émotions. Il explore la voie selon laquelle Calvin et les siens utilisèrent le consistoire pour atténuer les haines personnelles, tout en mettant en oeuvre une propagande destinée à attiser les haines interconfessionnelles. Robert M. Kingdom fut le plus plus éminent spécialiste américain de la Réforme calviniste. Thomas A. Lambert écrivit sa thèse de doctorat sur la Réforme genevoise sous sa direction et a été depuis son collaborateur pour une série d’éditions critiques du Registre du consistoire de Genève, également publiées par Droz. Thomas A. Lambert aida Robert Kingdon à finir le présent ouvrage entrepris de longue date. Travaillant jusqu’à la fin, Kingdon était capable de lire et d’approuver toutes les modifications importantes apportées à ce travail encore trois jours avant sa mort en décembre 2010. Cet ultime travail du professeur Kingdon mérite une place dans les bibliothèques de tous les spécialistes de la Réforme.
