Excerpt from Calvin's Programme for a Puritan State in Geneva, 1536-1541
It was but natural, as the book became less of an apologia and more a handbook of theology, that the sections dealing with doctrine should be most largely increased. The things that impress a modern reader in comparing the successive editions are, first, Calvin's growing belief in a more representative form of government in church and state; and, second, the unflinching way in which he deduces startling but entirely logical conclusions from his premises.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating story of how a sixteenth-century city, Geneva, transformed into a theocratic state under the influence of one of the most influential figures of the Reformation, John Calvin. It explores the dynamics between Calvin's theological ideas and the political landscape of Geneva, demonstrating how his concepts of church discipline and the sovereignty of God influenced the city's social fabric. The author examines how Calvinââ â¢s writings, particularly his *Institutes of the Christian Religion*, served as a blueprint for a Puritan society, outlining the crucial role of moral discipline and the authority of the Word of God in regulating both the church and the state. The book highlights the clash between Calvin's vision and the existing political structures of Geneva, illustrating the power struggles that resulted in the establishment of a uniquely structured theocracy. The bookââ â¢s detailed analysis of Calvinââ â¢s writings and the events in Geneva offers valuable insight into the development of a radical form of Protestantism, demonstrating how theological concepts could be translated into a lived reality, shaping a society with lasting consequences for the wider world.
