Geneva Protestant history

Geneva's Protestant history is rooted in the Reformation of the 16th century, when reformers like John Calvin led efforts to shift the city away from Catholic teachings. Calvin's influence established Geneva as a center for Protestant theology, emphasizing scripture, morality, and church discipline. The city became a refuge for Protestant thinkers and a model of religious reform. Geneva's commitment to these principles shaped its social laws, education, and governance, making it a pivotal hub for Protestantism and influencing broader European religious movements.
