Sebastian Castellio, 1515-1563 (eBook, ePUB)

Humanist and Defender of Religious Toleration in a Confessional Age

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although initially a follower of Calvin, the French humanist and religious reformer Sebastian Castellio was soon to become one of his most prominent critics, arguing in favour of a 'liberal' humanist approach to religious toleration, in opposition to Calvin's dogmatic orthodoxy. By telling the fascinating tale of Castellio's life, this work illuminates the furious debate that he unleashed and how it marked a crucial stage in the development of Protestant thought.
