Description

Médiévales - Année 1994 - Volume 13 - Numéro 27 - Pages 59-66
The Protestant Man off Suffering in the Times off the Wan of Religion - In the age of religious upheavals, suffering was a recurrent theme in Reformed apologetics. Antoine de la Roche-Chandieu's treatise, published soon after the first War of Religion, expounds a discourse which justifies the trials endured by Protestants since 1557. His model is the Calvinist martyr, and the account of giving one's life for one's faith, from arrest to execution, is organized in correlation to the manifestation of Christ-God. This « sacred theatre » strives to disqualify royal justice, to attest to the divine presence at the side of the new Church, and to legitimize the first rebellions. Thus a Reformed culture of Christian suffering did indeed exist, whose axis was the divine union through faith.

recurrent theme in Reformed apologetics. Antoine de la Roche-Chandieu's treatise, published soon after the first War of Religion,

expounds a discourse which justifies the trials endured by Protestants since 1557. His model is the Calvinist martyr, and the

account of giving one's life for one's faith, from arrest to execution, is organized in correlation to the manifestation of Christ-God.

This « sacred theatre » strives to disqualify royal justice, to attest to the divine presence at the side of the new Church, and to

legitimize the first rebellions. Thus a Reformed culture of Christian suffering did indeed exist, whose axis was the divine union

through faith.
