"This ninth volume of the registers of the Consistory of Geneva (1554) is noticeably longer than those for the three previous years, a reflection of the intensification of the on-going conflicts that Calvin and the Consistory had with the self-proclaimed Enfants de Genève, who sought to curb the influence of the pastors, who were all French. The administration of the Holy Supper continued to be a key point of contention, as the Consistory still claimed to have the exclusive right to admit and ...

The records of the Consistory of Geneva for 1553, like those for the two previous years, reveal the bitter conflicts between Calvin and the Consistory, on the one hand, and the so-called “Enfants de Genève,” on the other. The latter continued to complain about the influx of the large number of refugees, mostly from France, as well as the growing authority of the pastors and the Consistory. The question of what institution, the Consistory or the Council, had the authority to exclude and to adm ...

Volume ten of the registers of the Consistory of Geneva covers 1555, a decisive year for the success of John Calvin’s disciplinary regime. A riot in May gave the reformer and his supporters the opportunity to purge the city of various leaders of the self-proclaimed Enfants de Genève, who were opposed to Calvinist discipline. The authority of Calvin and the Consistory was never again questioned during his lifetime. The records of 1555 provide a valuable window to these conflicts and show conti ...

"Volume 11 of the registers of the Consistory of Geneva, which dates from 1556, demonstrates the consolidation of the power of Calvin and the Consistory after the defeat of the Enfants de Genève the previous year. The records bear witness to the intensification of discipline in Geneva. Calvin and the Consistory essentially declared war on blasphemy, evident by the large number of people convoked for that sin, and the city council doubled the punishment for fornication to six days in jail. A c ...

Like the two previous tomes, volume 12 of the registers of the Consistory of Geneva, which covers 1557, provides ample evidence of the growing power of Calvin and the Consistory. This is the longest volume to date, which itself reflects the institution’s increasing efforts to impose discipline in Geneva. Having received the right to administer oaths to witnesses only the previous year, the Consistory in 1557 began prosecuting those who were guilty of perjury before it. Calvin and his colleagu ...
