The French Huguenots and Wars of Religion

The Huguenots and their struggle for freedom of conscience and freedom of worship are largely unknown outside of France. The entrance of the sixteenth-century Reformation in France, first through the teachings of Luther, then of Calvin, brought three centuries of religious wars before Protestants were considered fully French and obtained the freedom to worship God without repression and persecution from the established church and the tyrannical state. From the first martyrs early in the sixteenth century to the last martyrs at the end of the eighteenth century, Protestants suffered from the intolerance of church and state, the former refusing genuine reform and unwilling to relinquish privileges, the latter rejecting any threats to the absolute monarchy. The rights gained with one treaty or edict of pacification were snatched away with another royal decree declaring Protestants heretics and outlaws. Political and religious intrigues, conspiracies, assassinations, and broken promises contributed to the turmoil and tens of thousands were exiled or fled to places of refuge. Others spent decades as slaves on the king's galleys or imprisoned. They lost their possessions; they lost their lives. They did not lose their faith in a sovereign God.

Review ""Stephen Davis revisits the history of Protestantism in France with integrity and scholarly passion. The story of the Huguenots is as timely as it is important, as William Edgar underscores in the book's foreword. Davis' writing is clear, rendering the book highly accessible even to newcomers to European church history. Its relative brevity makes it attractive as a supplemental textbook in seminary courses that cover the Reformation and Counter-Reformation."" --Richard L. Starcher, Editor-in-Chief, Missiology: An International Review ""The French Huguenots and Wars of Religion is essential reading for those seeking a crash course on the historico-cultural contexts for the emergence of Protestantism in France and its place in society today. Clear, precise, and penned in straightforward prose, this volume is accessible to a broad audience. Davis deftly weaves together the many strands of individuals, places, challenges, and political and religious dynamics that fuel the life of this faith group."" --Glenn Fetzer, Academic Department Head and Professor of French, New Mexico State University About the Author Stephen M.

Urban Church Planting

For the last couple decades, urban church planting has been all the rage. This has been a blessing for the city. This has also been a curse for many who sensed a call, saw a need, and left for a life of adventure, only to leave the city after a short time. Many left behind no church and live with memories of failure and frustration. They were eager, well-supported, not a little naive, and unprepared for life and ministry in the city.Urban church planting is not for everyone. It is not more important than church planting elsewhere. But if you believe God has called you to urban ministry, read this book before you go. It is written by a city guy, freed from the romanticism often associated with planting churches in the city. If after reading this you still believe God is calling you to the city, then by all means go. If not, know that God can use you elsewhere.
