JOHN CALVIN --$tSERIES EDITOR'S BIBLIOGRAPHY --$tINDEX 330 $aBorn to a noble family in Tournai, Marie Dentière (1495-1561) left her convent in the 1520's to work for religious reform. She married a former priest and with her husband went to Switzerland, where she was active in the Reformation's takeover of Geneva. Dentière's Very Useful Epistle (1539) is the first explicit statement of reformed theology by a woman to appear in French. Addressed to Queen Marguerite of Navarre, sister of the French king Francis I, the Epistle asks the queen to help those persecuted for their religious beliefs. Dentière offers a stirring defense of women and asserts their right to teach the word of God in public. She defends John Calvin against his enemies and attacks the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. Her Preface (1561) to one of Calvin's sermons criticizes immodesty and extravagance in clothing and warns the faithful to be vigilant. Undaunted in the face of suppression and ridicule, this outspoken woman persisted as an active voice in the Reformation. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aReformed Church$vApologetic works 606 $aWomen's clothing$xBiblical teaching 610 $areligion, religious studies, faith, belief, christian, christianity, saint, church, preacher, french, france, history, historical, academic, scholarly, research, 1500s, convent, reform, priest, switzerland, geneva, reformation, theology, womens issues, woman, persecution, preaching, teacher, calvin, calvinism, roman catholic, modesty, apologetic, clothing, bible, biblical, morals. 615 0$aReformed Church 615 0$aWomen's clothing$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a284/.2 700 $aDentie?re$b Marie$f1495-1561.$01557455 701 $aMcKinley$b Mary B$01557456 701 2$aDentie?re$b Marie$f1495-1561.$01557455 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784736803321 996 $aEpistle to Marguerite de Navarre$93820964 997 $aUNINA
