Calvanism and the Religious Wars
Title - Calvinism and the Religious WarsPlace of Publication - New York, 1971 This book is about pretty much the beginning of Calvinism and how it played a major role in the reforming of mid to late fifteenth century Europe. Franklin Charles Palm tries to exam the role in which John Calvin used his love for the sacred scriptures and religion to reform the way he lived, and the rest of the world. Concentrating mostly on Europe at that time period. Palm breaks down the life of Calvin at first, and then as he proceeds through this book he leads up to actual formation of the religion. And ultimately then how this newly formed religion affected or may off even caused some of the religious war. I unfortunately could not find any info on Franklin Charles Palm, though I even had one the librarians look for me to. I feel that Franklin Charles Palm was really not trying to answer any certain question while he was attempting to write this informative novel at all. In fact I think that his true purpose for writing this was to give an accurate account of what role Calvinism played in that time period, because from what I can understand he did not feel that
Once the religion hit those sections it began its spread throughout the vast regions of Western Europe too. Also providing us a look into the future at the reform of the Roman Catholic Church. Last but not least it explains The Spread of Calvinism into the new world with the Huguenots, the Pilgrims, and the Puritans. Now for the part I have been waiting for, the time I get to give my opinion of the book. If in deed you go with that argument then I guess you could say that he indeed did provide excellent information and plenty of back round information to prove his point. It states how this made it possible for Calvin to meet some very influential people in his early life and made it possible for him to start to develop ideas about religion and other political views early on in life. Which evidently lead to Calvin's exile from the country. I have always thought to consider myself a sort off history buff so I can see why in turn did enjoy learning about Calvin's subject matter. After discussing Calvin's early life Palm went on to talk about the Roman Catholic Church and how they developed a keen sense of hated for Calvin. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest for these subjects, or just plan flat out needs to do a report on this topic. Palm starts the novel out by explaining the early the early life of John Calvin and explains his life with his family. This helps out greatly when writing papers and reviews for essays and reports. He states that there was few books written on this topic and it may be tough for someone without the knowledge of the subject to even begin to write on theses situations. His resources included some valuable works of history; like the Encyclopedia Britanica. Well let me start of by saying that I personally thought that it was going to be a very boring book but I was indeed surprised after reading it.
