The intention of this assignment is to argue that the Geneva Reformation was not a French takeover. This assignment will compare Peter G. Wallace's views in The Long European Reformation and Unit 7 of The European Reformation. It is worth noting that Peter G. Wallace is covering the reformation over a long historical period and across Europe; however, half of European Reform Unit 7 discusses the reform in Geneva in depth. In this assignment, the influence of the Swiss city-state of Bern will be discussed. Next, this assignment will cover the impact of the French refugees in Geneva, the corruption of the opposition, and Calvin's attempt to create a godly society. When looking at the Calvinist Reformation in Geneva it is important to recognize the influence of the city-state of Bern. As Peter G. Wallace points out: Bern helped Geneva by sending the French evangelist Guillaume Farel to carry out religious reform (Wallace, 2004, p.104). Calvin and Farel meet in Geneva around this time and push for greater authority. The European Reformation tells us more about Calvin's vision, while Peter G. Wallace gives us more about the judiciary's vision for Geneva. As pointed out in The European Reformation: Calvin emphasizes that only members of the true church would be saved from domination (Grell et al., 2011, p.55). In essence, Calvin believed that anyone who did not follow his vision should be excluded from communion. However, as Peter G. Wallace tells us, the Geneva judiciary “insisted on the Bernese Zwinglian system” (Wallace, 2004, p.105). This refers to Ulrich Zwinglian, the leader of the Swiss Reformation, whose beliefs were closer to Martin Luth... mid-paper... his lead, The European Reformation suggests that the judiciary was still the supreme power in Geneva. This is evident from the judiciary's order to reconcile both parties involved in the dance dispute. Although only The European Reformation covers the corruption of the Perrinists, Calvin's letter to Heinrich Bullinger suggests that the Perrinists were a corrupt group of people accustomed to having power at their disposal. As a result, it is very likely that the Perrinists were a group more interested in personal gain than in limiting French influence for the good of Geneva's citizens. Finally, although Genevans believed that Calvinists had too much power over their private lives, both sources mention the high moral standards imposed by Calvinists. Therefore, Calvin is likely to use his power to attempt to create a highly moral society.
