Synopsis

Explores the roots of Protestantism in France and the clash over church and state that shaped the nation’s religious landscape.

The book traces how France’s faith story began, evolved through reform and revolution, and continues to unfold under changing political and social forces. It examines the long struggle between Rome and reform, the rise of a distinct French Protestant movement, and the practical implications of disestablishment for churches and citizens alike.

  • Origins of the French Reformation and its early impact on society
  • Relations between the French crown, the Papacy, and the state
  • The priestly movement away from Rome and the push for liberty of conscience
  • Consequences of disestablishment for churches, clergy, and ordinary people

Ideal for readers of religious history, European history, and anyone interested in how France negotiates faith, liberty, and governance.
