Document Summary
The geneva english bible was created in part by beza"s ally. He was living in exile on the continent during the reign of mary i. Knox was very much impressed by calvin and calvin"s model of theological authority. Knox was able to return to scotland in 1559. He preached calvinism and helped to give rise to scottish presbyterian tradition. These calvinist influences began to seep down into england. They threatened to push the anglican church away from henry viii"s path of moderation. Back on the continent, beza"s calvinism continued to swallow up the major cities of the swiss reformation. The legacy of zwingli and oecolampadius was likewise swallowed up by the legacy of calvin. His reformed tradition now stood as lutheranism"s rival. Given the francophone nature of calvin"s reformers rooted in faber and farel, there is no surprise his ideas appealed to christians in the kingdom of france too.
