In this episode, we turn to the rise of Reformed Christianity and the role of John Calvin. A brilliant young scholar, Calvin intended only to pass through Geneva — until William Farel urged him to stay and help reform the city. Through preaching, teaching, and remarkable administrative skill, Calvin worked to shape Geneva into a community grounded in Scripture. His influence, and the Institutes of the Christian Religion, would spread Reformation theology across Europe. Let us know in the comments!
