Description
Summary:The claim in recent years of a radical disjunction between the theologies of Calvin and the Calvinists has frequently come to focus on the seminal influence of Calvin's successor at Geneva, Theodore Beza.

Indeed, in order to appreciate Beza's significance we are compelled to see him in comparison with his great predecessor.
