'A companion to the Reformation in Geneva' describes the course of the Protestant Reformation in the city of Geneva from the 16th to the 18th centuries. It takes to explore the beginnings of reform in the city, the struggles the reformers encountered when seeking to teach, minister to, educate, and dicipline the inhabitants of Geneva, and methods employed to overcome the obstacles. It examines Geneva's relations with nearby cities and how Geneva handled the influx of immigrants from France. The volume focuses on the most significant aspects of life in the city, examines major theological and liturgical subjects associated with Genevan Reformation, and describes the political, social, and cultural consequences of the Reformation for Geneva.
