This volume presents a fascinating account of the political strategies, religious attitudes, and resistance activities of Theodore Beza and other French Protestant leaders between the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacres (1572) and the Edict of Nantes (1598).
Faith, Reason, and Revelation in the Thought of Theodore Beza investigates the direction of religious epistemology under a chief architect of the Calvinistic tradition (1519-1605). Mallinson contends that Beza defended and consolidated his tradition by balancing the subjective and objective aspects of faith and knowledge.

A description of the course of the Protestant Reformation in the city of Geneva from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
This monograph focuses upon the role Theodore de Bèze played in the gradual transformation of Calvin's biblically oriented theology into a new type of scholasticism, in which Predestination became the keystone.
Morality after Calvin examines the development of ethical thought in the Reformed tradition immediately following the death of Calvin, using Theodore Beza's Cato Censorius Christianus (1591) as a point of departure. The book examines the theology that drove the disciplinary activity at Geneva in the latter half of the sixteenth century.
