This rich investigation explores tensions between freedom of conscience and appreciation for church constitutions, subscription to confessions, and oath swearing. Focusing on Calvin and situating Geneva's theoretical and practical negotiations among wider protestant movements, Scheuers paints a nuanced portrait of the relationships among biblical authority, conscience, and human traditions in the Reformation era.
