What this episode covers
In 1544, Calvin wrote The Necessity of Reforming the Church, which is essentially a defense of the Protestant or reformed catholic cause. Calvin is addressing Charles V, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who was convening a Diet in Speyer that year. The Reformation had been going on already for almost 30 years. Calvin himself is about 35 years old. He’s already established as a prominent figure head in the Reformation. Luther is going to die in two years, in 1546. So, we are moving into a new phase of the Reformation, where the baton is being passed on to the next generation.
