In summary, this is a welcome and necessary addition to French Reformation and Calvin studies ... We are in Bruening's debt for producing an offering that gives long - overdue attention to the broad opposition to Calvinist reform in the Francophone and corrects earlier historical works that present an oversimplified picture -- highly recommended.
Michael W. Bruening is a professor of history at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. He specializes in the history of the Reformation in francophone Europe and is the author of A Reformation Sourcebook, Calvinism's First Battleground, and Epistolae Petri Vireti. During the 2020 worldwide shift to online instruction, his YouTube parody of "I Will Survive" went viral among educators.
