In this highly anticipated tome, Elsie McKee presents the culmination of decades of scholarly attention to Calvin and the Genevan Reformation. The result is an invaluable contribution to scholarship on Calvin and Geneva: a far more detailed and precise picture than previously existed of how worship operated in Reformation Geneva. McKee present a clear and thoughtful narrative and discussion of Genevan worship and, just as importantly, more than 200 pages of appendices providing extensive data about Genevan worship services during Calvin's lifetime, including information such as the number of services that happened in which church, the ministers present, the type of services performed and the order in which Calvin preached his sermons. These appendices will be crucial tools for all subsequent scholarship examining the ‘meeting point between teaching and practice’ (p. 13) in Reformation Geneva. She has also crafted a sort of pastoral biography of Calvin, bringing together an impressive array of primary sources – including Calvin's printed works, catechisms, sermons, letters and baptismal and marriage records – to explain Calvin's pastoral thinking and intentions. In her discussion, McKee addresses the work of several scholars on the Genevan Reformation, including that of Thomas Lambert, Christian Grosse and my own work on baptism. Her thorough mining of her various sources allows her to flesh out and clarify some points made in those earlier works, further improving our understanding of Calvin and the dynamics of reforming Genevan worship practices. Overall, however, this volume focuses on the remarkable breadth of McKee's primary source research. For the most part, it is left to readers to incorporate McKee's achievements into ongoing discussions among historians, historical theologians and theologians. This is as it should be, as it allows McKee to focus on providing the most comprehensive picture to date of Calvin's understanding of the pastoral goals of the Church and the ways that worship structured the daily lives of the Genevans who were committed to following the Reformation. For example, the chapter on ‘Calvin the preacher of Geneva’ is a rich, detailed description of Calvin's preaching practices that brings to life Calvin's experiences and intentions as a preacher. While Calvin has long been famed for his energy and dedication, as McKee lays out his preaching schedule and the variety of Calvin's goals in his preaching – for example, his attention to a variety of concerns and interests within his audiences – even those most familiar with Calvin's work will be left wondering how he got everything done. Despite McKee's interest in examining the intersection between teaching and practice, she still runs up against the common problem of the lack of significant evidence on reception. But this does not diminish her extraordinary accomplishment in creating a more detailed and precise picture than ever before of how worship operated in Reformation Geneva. This is a truly invaluable contribution that any serious library needs to own. It brings us to a new phase of understanding Calvin and the Genevan Reformation and serves as a crucial building block for further Reformation research.
