Abstract

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.

Abstract

A Companion to the Reformation in Geneva describes the course of the Protestant Reformation in the city of Geneva from the 16th to the 18th centuries. It seeks to explore the beginnings of reform in the city, the struggles the reformers encountered when seeking to teach, minister to, educate, and discipline the inhabitants of Geneva, and the methods employed to overcome these obstacles. It examines Geneva's relations with nearby cities and how Geneva handled the influx of immigrants from France. The volume focuses on the most significant aspects of life in the city, examines major theological and liturgical subjects associated with the Genevan Reformation, and describes the political, social, and cultural consequences of the Reformation for Geneva. Contributors include Jon Balserak, Sara Beam, Erik de Boer, Michael Bruening, Mathieu Caesar, Jill Fehlieson, Emanuele Fiume, Hervé Genton, Anja Silvia Goeing, Christian Grosse, Scott Manetsch, Elsie McKee, Graeme Murdock, William G. Naphy, Peter Opitz, Jennifer Powell McNutt, Jameson Tucker, Theodore G. Van Raalte, and Jeffrey R. Watt. "This volume is a scholarly and very accessible introduction to the Genevan Reformation that covers history, religious developments, and impact, balancing the perspectives of both historians and theologians. The contributors present an extraordinarily well-rounded view of Geneva during the Reformation. It will be a tremendous aid to scholarship and the book that the next generation of scholars will use both as a handy reference and as the starting point for future work." Amy Nelson Burnett, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Abstract

Jeanne de Jussie (1503-61) experienced the Protestant Reformation from within the walls of the Convent of Saint Clare in Geneva. In her impassioned and engaging Short Chronicle, she offers a singular account of the Reformation, reporting not only on the larger clashes between Protestants and Catholics but also on events in her convent-devious city councilmen who lied to trusting nuns, lecherous soldiers who tried to kiss them, and iconoclastic intruders who smashed statues and burned paintings. Throughout her tale, Jussie highlights women's roles on both sides of the conflict, from the Reformed women who came to her convent in an attempt to convert the nuns to the Catholic women who ransacked the shop of a Reformed apothecary. Above all, she stresses the Poor Clares' faithfulness and the good men and women who came to them in their time of need, ending her story with the nuns' arduous journey by foot from Reformed Geneva to Catholic Annecy. First published in French in 1611, Jussie's Short Chronicle is translated here for an English-speaking audience for the first time, providing a fresh perspective on struggles for religious and political power in sixteenth-century Geneva and a rare glimpse at early modern monastic life.
