Shop our store Description Shipping FAQ Calvin's Tormentors: Understanding the Conflicts That Shaped the Reformer Calvin's Tormentors offers a unique approach to John Calvin by introducing the individuals and groups who, through their opposition to Calvin's theology and politics, helped shape the Reformer, his theology, and his historical and religious legacy. Respected church historian Gary Jenkins details how the polemical struggles that dominated the Reformation characterized Calvin to such a degree that understanding his interlocutors helps us better understand Calvin himself in all his foibles, frailties, brilliance, and candor. Jenkins shows how Calvin had to defend or rethink his theology in light of his tormentors' challenges. The book reveals Calvin as a subtle thinker whose intellectual life wore the marks of the controversies he endured, giving readers a more nuanced view of Calvin's life and thought. The book highlights the central theological ideas of the Swiss Reformation and introduces figures and movements often excluded from standard texts, making it an outstanding textbook for courses on Calvin and the Protestant Reformation.

The Radicals: Italia as More Trouble Than Iberia Matteo Gribaldi: The Origin of Later Radicalism Francisco Stancaro: Turning Calvin into a Tritheist Giorgio Biandrata: The Tritheist Apostle to the Poles (and Valentino Gentili, His Silas) Laelius and Faustus Soccinii: Calvin's Thought Fermenting Conclusion Indexes Endorsements "Jenkins's extensive survey of John Calvin's opponents, both in Geneva and further afield, offers fresh insights into the Reformer's theological outlook in one accessibly written volume. The book fills a noticeable gap in Calvin studies." Karin Maag, director, H. Henry Meeter Center for Calvin Studies "This provocatively titled book represents neither a defense of nor an assault on Calvin. Rather, Jenkins is exceptionally evenhanded in his treatment. He discusses the lives and exploits of those who attacked Calvin and also shows that Calvin frequently brought these attacks on himself. Calvin's Tormentors treats infamous fracases as well as lesser-known ones. Its handling of the Servetus and Bolsec cases in particular is exemplary. Jenkins is a patient, thorough, and insightful scholar, not to mention a beautiful writer. This stimulating read is punctuated with lovely vignettes, pin-sharp detail, and plenty of grist for a graduate seminar or for private reflection." Jon Balserak, senior lecturer in early modern religion, University of Bristol "Gary Jenkins's Calvin's Tormentors is a refined piece of scholarship on what is a rather neglected aspect of the life and work of the Genevan Reformer, namely the nature and character of the voices raised against him and his reform program. Jenkins provides detailed and well-designed studies of Calvin's interactions with du Tillet, Caroli, Sadoleto, Servetus, Castellio, Berthelier, Baudouin, Bolsec, Westphal, and the Italian antitrinitarians. This is a fine historical analysis that provides a significant and often-neglected window on the Genevan Reformation--a work to be welcomed by scholars and students alike." Richard A. Muller, senior fellow, Junius Institute for Digital Reformation Research; P. J.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are overstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. What is a remainder book? A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not. Please complete the eBay checkout process within 5 days.
