A History of the Huguenots

First published in 1866 A History of the Huguenots is an essential historic work by W. Carlos Martyn an excellent and inspiring tale of the Huguenots an ethnoreligious group of French Protestants. John Calvin was a Frenchman and his reformation in the French speaking Swiss city of Geneva had a profound impact on his homeland. The story of these heroic Christians and their struggles for the faith is an edifying exercise for those who desire to know more of their spiritual heritage. The book starts with the history of pre-Reformation France covering the earlier reform movements of the Vaudois and Cathars etc. This less well known and fascinating part of history is a valuable addition to this work.
