JOHN CALVIN --SERIES EDITOR'S BIBLIOGRAPHY --INDEXBorn to a noble family in Tournai, Marie Dentière (1495-1561) left her convent in the 1520's to work for religious reform. She married a former priest and with her husband went to Switzerland, where she was active in the Reformation's takeover of Geneva. Dentière's Very Useful Epistle (1539) is the first explicit statement of reformed theology by a woman to appear in French. Addressed to Queen Marguerite of Navarre, sister of the French king Francis I, the Epistle asks the queen to help those persecuted for their religious beliefs. Dentière offers a stirring defense of women and asserts their right to teach the word of God in public. She defends John Calvin against his enemies and attacks the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. Her Preface (1561) to one of Calvin's sermons criticizes immodesty and extravagance in clothing and warns the faithful to be vigilant. Undaunted in the face of suppression and ridicule, this outspoken woman persisted as an active voice in the Reformation.Other voice in early modern Europe.Reformed ChurchApologetic worksWomen's clothingBiblical teachingReformed ChurchWomen's clothingBiblical teaching.284/.2Dentiere Marie1495-1561.1674293McKinley Mary B1674294Dentiere Marie1495-1561.1674293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818003803321Epistle to Marguerite de Navarre4039015UNINA
