Sex Marriage And Family In John Calvin's Geneva by John Witte, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

You would not expect this from his dour reputation, but John Calvin transformed the Western understanding of sex, marriage, and family life. In this fascinating, even sensational, volume John Witte and Robert Kingdon treat comprehensively the new theology and law of domestic life that Calvin and his fellow reformers established in sixteenth-century Geneva. Bringing to light and life hundreds of newly discovered cases and theological texts, Witte and Kingdon trace the subtle historical forms and norms of sex, marriage, and family life that still shape us today. | Sex Marriage And Family In John Calvin's Geneva by John Witte, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
