History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin. Vol. 2 (of 8)
"History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin. Vol. 2" by J. H. Merle D'Aubigné is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume focuses on the life and times of John Calvin, particularly during his formative years as a student, and emphasizes the broader context of the Reformation as it unfolded in Europe, particularly in France. The book likely explores Calvin’s contributions to the Reformation and
his evolving theological principles, alongside the societal and religious challenges of the time. The opening of this volume introduces John Calvin at the University of Orleans, where he studies law under the guidance of the respected professor Pierre de l'Etoile. Initially timid and observant, Calvin forms significant friendships that influence his spiritual development, particularly with his peers and the esteemed Melchior Wolmar, who teaches him Greek and shares reformation ideas. As Calvin grapples with his faith and the tumultuous climate of religious thought, he begins to assert his beliefs and lays the groundwork for his future role as a reformer. The text portrays his struggle for personal conviction amidst the distractions and behaviors of student life, setting a foundation for his eventual commitment to the Reformation movement.
