Winner of the National Huguenot Society's 2022 Scholarly Works Award
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.

Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Illuminating One of History’s Great Tragedies

A fine history of the French Huguenots from well before the Edict of Nantes to well after the Revocation by Louis XIV, this volume gets at the guts of the terrible treatment received by these French Calvinists by the Roman church. Five stars!
