This volume represents the first scholarly biography of Adolphe Monod, a leading figure in the French Reformed Church in the early 19th century. As a French Calvinist pastor and professor of theology at the French Reformed seminary at Montauban, Monod played an influential role as religious leader during the theological turmoil that struck the Church at that time. This book presents an insightful case study of Monod's relation to the French Reformed Church and to the nineteenth century. An interesting text for students of church history, French history, and religion.
