Résumé
This book, based on intensive research in the Geneva State Archives, examines the background of the pastors trained in Geneva for the conversion of France to Protestantism during the Reformation and their role in the agitation leading up to the wars of religion in that country. It argues that these men and their religion played an important role in the beginning of those wars. It thus explores intersections between religion and politics that are once more of great significance in the modern world.
As Mack Holt points out in his foreword to this new printing, this book has become a classic in its field, exercising considerable influence on thought about the Reformation, particularly in France but also in other countries, since its first publication in 1956. That influence and its fresh relevance justify this new printing. This new version also adds a postface by Robert Kingdon himself, explaining the origins and early history of this book, including its setting during the Cold War.
