History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin. Vol. 4 (of 8)
"History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin. Vol. 4 (of 8)" by J. H. Merle D’Aubigné is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume focuses on the significant events during the Reformation, particularly in regions such as England, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Italy. The author aims to portray the broader context and impact of the Reformation rather than limiting the narrative to the life of
John Calvin, showing how the movement reshaped Christianity in various parts of Europe. The opening of the volume provides a backdrop to the Reformation period, specifically highlighting England's struggle for religious independence from papal authority. Merle D’Aubigné discusses the changing social dynamics of the time, such as the decline of clerical power and the rise of layman's influence in matters of faith. The author introduces key figures like Henry VIII, emphasizing his complex motives and questionable character, while outlining the growing sentiment among the populace for a more scriptural form of Christianity. Through detailed accounts of parliamentary proceedings and public debates, the beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how the Reformation impacted the church and society within England and beyond.
