Theodore Beza was born at Vezelay (8 miles west-south-west of Avallon), in Burgundy.
Beza's father had two brothers; Nicholas, who was member of Parliament at Paris; and Claude, who 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 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 Beza Biography
Theodore Beza (Theodore de Beze or de Besze) (June 24, 1519 - October 13, 1605) was a French theologian living most of his life in Switzerland and scholar and participant in the Protestant Reformation.
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.
Young Beza soon followed his teacher to Bourges, whither the latter was called by the duchess Margaret of Angoulême, sister of Francis I. Bourges was one of the places in France in which the heart of the Reformation beat the strongest.

Beza came to be regarded as the chief advocate of all reformed congregations in France, serving with distinction at the Colloquy of Poissy (see Poissy, Colloquy of).

 HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH*
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 procured it from the monastery of St. Irenaeus, at Lyons, when the city was sacked by Des Adrets, in 1562, but did not use it in his edition of the Greek Testament, because it departed so widely from the other manuscripts, which departures are often supported by the ancient Latin and Syriac versions.

 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.

 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.

It was not until 1548 that Beza, having nearly died of a serious illness, underwent a spiritual awakening and publicly embraced the Protestant faith.
Beza’s phenomenal gifts, acute intellect and biting satire made him a formidable opponent in any debate, and the evidence suggests that Calvin was heartily glad of Beza’s support.
Beza not only led the model city of Geneva into the seventeenth century, but he was also a widely consulted international leader, presiding over numerous French Reformed synods, and using his legal background and roots in the nobility to engage in diplomatic negotiations in the cause of persecuted minorities.

 Theodore Beza
French theologian, son of bailli Pierre de Bèsze, was born at Vezelai, Burgundy, on the 24th of June 1519.
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.

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.
