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.

Biografie van Calvijn, de grondlegger van het calvinisme. The book explores with particular insight Calvin's self-conscious view of himself as prophet and apostle for his age and his struggle to tame a sense of his own superiority, perceived by others as arrogance. Gordon looks at Calvin's character, his maturing vision of God and humanity, his personal tragedies and failures, his extensive relationships with others, and the context within which he wrote and taught. --from publisher description

Après avoir pratiqué Jean Calvin pendant plus de quarante-cinq ans, surtout dans sa production imprimée, Jean-François Gimont propose un portrait du réformateur dessiné à travers ses relations sociales. Il cerne son action sur la société de son temps. Cet homme a en effet exercé une emprise exceptionnelle sur son entourage, proche et lointain. Au cours des âges, il continue à provoquer tout à la fois une fascination inconditionnelle et des rejets définitifs. Pour tenter d'expliquer le rayonnement de cet homme "insupportable mais fascinant", le projet est né de réunir une galerie de portraits qui montrent les attitudes parfois contradictoires de Calvin et de son entourage. Les relations de multiples personnages avec le réformateur mettent en lumière une diversité des approches et des contacts, positifs ou négatifs.
