From the publisher

For too long, the Huguenot story has lingered at the margins of Reformation history. This volume recovers that tradition by telling the story of French Calvinism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through the lives of fifteen remarkable figures. Drawing readers into the turbulent world of pre-Revolution France, a landscape shaped by wars, synods, edicts, assassinations, and exile, it traces the full arc of the Huguenot movement. Part biography, part theology, part sweeping narrative history, this volume opens a window onto a world hitherto largely unknown.
