Infant Baptism in Reformation Geneva

Publisher Description

This project analyses the changes in Genevan baptismal practices and then uses that analysis as an entrance into the consideration of the place of children in sixteenth-century Genevan society. The main purpose of this approach is to provide a study of the relationship between theology and practice. Ultimately, this study's focus on children and their parents and guardians significantly transforms our understanding of sixteenth-century Genevan society, Calvinism and the Protestant Reformation.
