Beschreibung:
Eighteenth-century Geneva offers a fascinating glimpse into the encounter between the Reformation and the Enlightenment in the figurative meeting of Calvin and Voltaire. This research supports a revisionist understanding of religion and the Enlightenment, moves beyond a simplistic paradigm of 'decline' and secularization, and highlights how Geneva's French connection ultimately uprooted a society still largely committed to its Protestant-Reformation origins.
Contents: Introduction: Geneva and the revisionist Enlightenment; The 'mother church' of a new era; Clerical demographics and duties; Clerical Jeremiads and renunciations; Ministers and Philosophes; Reasonable Calvinism: from the pulpit to the pew; Clergy and the work of state-building; Conclusion: the French connection; Appendixes; Index.
