Voici donné, en avant-première de l'édition critique complète des quatre-vingt-sept sermons de Calvin retrouvés à Londres en 1995, un sermon de juillet 1558 sur le début du chapitre 55 d'Esaïe. Le thème de la famine spirituelle rappelle aux hommes la primauté des biens spirituels sur les nourritures terrestres et les invite à écouter une fois encore le message salutaire du Prophète. C'est pour célébrer le 450e anniversaire de l'octroi d'une charte du roi Edouard VI en faveur de la fondation d'une Eglise des réfugiés étrangers, que l'Eglise protestante française de Londres a souhaité publier ce sermon. Le texte de Calvin rassemble des thèmes centraux de la Réforme et pose un certain nombre de questions qui n'ont guère vieilli. Une traduction anglaise, des notes et un glossaire permettront à un grand nombre de lecteurs de goûter la langue désuète mais vigoureuse du Réformateur. .

Theodore Beza (1519–1605) was a talented humanist, Protestant theologian, political agitator, and prominent minister of the reformed church in Geneva during the second-half of the 16th century. During his long career, Beza exercised strategic leadership in his efforts to preserve reformed Christianity in Geneva and his native France, as well as to defend the theological legacy of John Calvin throughout Europe. Beza's diverse literary corpus of more than seventy works demonstrates that he was well-versed in classical literature, skilled in biblical exegesis, and adroit in theological controversy. More than an ivory-tower theologian, Beza maintained contact with the leading political and religious figures of his day, including Henry IV of France and Elizabeth I of England, as well as John Calvin, Heinrich Bullinger, and Philipp Melanchthon. He also participated in some of the most important colloquies and controversies of his generation, such as the Colloquy of Poissy (1561), the National Synod of La Rochelle (1571), and the Colloquy of Montbéliard (1586). This roll call of eminent people and important events indicates the central role that Beza played in the explosive political and religious controversies that roiled Western Europe during this troubled century. This edited volume explores neglected aspects of the history, theology, and literary contribution of Beza. The thirteen contributors to this volume are an accomplished group of scholars who specialize in the religious and social history of early modern Protestantism. Theodore Beza at 500 celebrates the 500th anniversary of the reformer's birth by providing an original, insightful, and multifaceted study of one of the most important leaders of reformed Protestantism after John Calvin.
This volume contains the collection of papers presented at the 11th International Congress on Calvin Research that took place in Zurich in 2014. While many colleagues of Calvin addressed him in their letters as 'Pastor Ecclesiae' (Pastor of the Church), this is also the position he held when he passed away, 450 years before the congress in Zurich took place. The first part of the book consists of the plenary papers. In the second part, the seminars held at the Congress are published, and the third part consists of a selection of short papers.
