	Theodore Beza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theodore's father had two brothers; one, Nicholas, was member of Parliament at Paris; the other, Claude, was abbot of the Cistercian monastery Froimont in the diocese of Beauvais.
		Beza, a French nobleman and head of the academy in the metropolis of French Protestantism, was invited to Castle Nerac, but he could not plant the seed of Evangelical faith in the heart of the king.
		Beza obtruded his will in no way upon his associates, and took no harsh measures against injudicious or hot-headed colleagues, though sometimes he took their cases in hand and acted as mediator; and yet he often experienced an opposition so extreme that he threatened to resign.

		Beza had followed the obnoxious expression with a remark which was intended to break its force, affirming the spiritual presence of Christ in the Eucharist; but the noise had prevented its being heard.
		Beza himself was reluctant to go, and indeed had declined a previous summons; but the crisis demanded an authoritative expression of the views of the Swiss Churches upon the proposed reforms in the discipline of the Church, and so he went.
		Beza knew that these extreme measures would probably greatly cripple the institution, and so, old as he was, and failing, he undertook to give a full course of instruction in theology, and persisted with it for more than two years,—until the crisis was passed,—and for these extra duties he would not take any compensation.

	Beza
		Theodore Beza was born in Vézeley in Burgundy of France on June 24, 1519.
		Beza was able to enjoy a life of comparative leisure because two benefices were arranged for him which provided him with the steady income of 700 golden crowns a year.
		As Beza was speaking in defense of the Protestant cause, he was rudely interrupted by the bishops of Rome who were determined not to allow the Protestants to propagate their views.

	Theodore Beza - Theopedia
		Beza was born in Vezelay on June 24, 1519 to Pierre de Besze and Marie Bourdelot.
		Beza was a model of a pastor/theologian who had a deep love and affection for his parishioners - he had a big picture of the sovereignty of God, but he also saw the pastoral implications of such a theology.
		Beza was an astute theologian and saw the daily implications of his theology - he saw the persecution that the Huguenots were suffering in France and willingly left the comfort of home and friends to intercede for them in the courts of the nobility.

	Theodore de Beze (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Theodore of Beza, a Protestant writer and theologian, played a central role in the Poissy Colloquy.
		Beza was devoted to Calvin, serving as one of his lieutenants and upon Calvin's death in 1564, he assumed Calvin's role as director of the Geneva Academy.
		When Catherine de Medici invited Beza and his Protestant representatives to the Colloquy to discuss and negotiate the differences between the two doctrines, she intended to secure a compromise between the two parties so that the immanent violence might be avoided.

	Biography of Theodore Beza - Calvin's Successor
		Beza was born at Vezelay in Burgundy (France) and educated at Orleans and Bourges under Melchior Wolmar.
		Beza also set high standards at the academy so that it continued to be an international center of Reformed learning.
		Nevertheless, Beza also had a strong positive influence, for with his stress on excellence in scholarship and his personal example, he laid the foundation for the outstanding dogmatic work that was a mark of the Reformed churches throughout the seventeenth century.

	Calvin's other "son" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Beza, more than Calvin, brings out the idea of social consent in the establishing of a government, seen by some as an early form of the 'social contract.' To the extent that Beza spells these things out more openly than Calvin, he is sometimes thought to have influenced modern political theory more than his predecessor.
		Beza says that when you press the philosophers, you find that they "trample all the whole heavenly wisdom under their feet." At the same time, both were willing to use the terminology they had inherited from the Schoolmen, and even in some cases terminology that can be traced back to Plato and Aristotle.
		Beza was worried that his views might do harm to the church, so he writes to Calvin, admitting that the matter is a "difficulty." He defers to Calvin's judgement, lest he plunge himself and others into error.

	Theodore Beza
		Wolmar, who had taught Greek to John Calvin, grounded Beza in Scripture from a Protestant standpoint; after his return to Germany (1534) Beza studied law at Orleans (May 1535 to August 1539), beginning practice in Paris (1539) as law licentiate.
		As a historian, Beza, by his chronological inexactitude, has been the source of serious mistakes; as an administrator, he softened the rigor of Calvin.
		The famous "codex D" (also known as Codex Bezae) was presented by him in 1581 to Cambridge University, with a characteristically dubious account of the history of the manuscript.

	The Reformation Roots of Social Contract
		Calvin’s disciple, Theodore Beza (1520—1603), made considerable comments on political matters, much of which reflects the shock of the 1572 Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre of the Huguenots.
		The limitation of the magistracy is seen in Beza’s assertion that the power of the lawful magistrate is neither infinite nor unconditional.
		Beza’s rule was: "On every occasion when we cannot obey the command of men without offending the majesty and despising the authority of the King of kings and the Lord of lords," then Christians must not submit.

	Theodore Beza and the Quest for Peace in France, 1572-1598 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This volume examines the changing religious attitudes, political strategies, and resistance activities of Theodore of Beza and other French Protestant leaders between the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacres (1572) and the Edict of Nantes (1598).
		Drawing on the reformer's published and unpublished letters, city archival materials in Geneva, and rare Huguenot books and pamphlets, this study documents how Beza and his Reformed colleagues attempted to ensure the survival of the Protestant churches in France in the face of protracted civil war and repeated political and religious setbacks.
		More than a biography of Beza, this book will be of interest to scholars of early modern Europe who wish to understand the political struggles and internal tensions of the Huguenot movement during this crucial period.

		While the earlier scholarship tended to stress the theological differences between Calvin and Beza, especially in their doctrine of predestination, a more recent scholarship has stressed the continuity of their teaching.

		On the other side, when God afflicts His own for their sins, even if He comes to make them feel the pains of death (Job 13:15), He is not provoked to anger against them as a Judge, to condemn them, but as a Father who is chastising His
		This is why we say, and with good reason, that the faith of which we speak can no more exist without good works than the sun without light or the fire without heat (1 John 2:9,10; James 2:14-17).
