SUMMARY:Bruce Gordon Lecture - \"John Calvin and Sebastian Castellio\: Two Visions of Reformed France\"
DESCRIPTION:Of all John Calvin's many opponents\, arguably the one he feared most was the Savoyard humanist\, Sebastian Castellio. They had briefly been friends in the early 1540s\, but their relationship turned to enmity when Calvin scorned the man who was his only real rival when it came to learning. The two men clashed over Castellio's translations of the Bible into Latin and French\, which the reformer of Geneva thought were horrific in their paganizing of scripture. Until their deaths\, only months apart\, these two men were locked in venomous struggle over the nature of the Christian faith. What lay behind it\, however\, was the fate of France and its Reformation. This lecture will examine the nature of their debate at this crucial moment in the history of France as the religious wars commenced. The differences between the two men not only cast light on the diversity of views within the Reformation\, but also on the emergence of new forms of early-modern thought. Bruce Gordon is professor of Reformation history at Yale Divinity School. He is a recognized leading authority on late-medieval and early-modern religion history. In May of this year his biography of John Calvin appeared with Yale University Press. This lecture is sponsored by the division for late medieval and Reformation studies\; and co-sponsored by the department of history\, the Institute for the Study of Religion and Culture\, the Group for Early Modern Studies\, and the UA Mediecal\, Renaissance and Reformation Committee.
