: Calvin's harsh and puritanical laws in Geneva..
: does anyone know anythin bout this???

To understand John Calvin, you need to consider the
Condition of the Church in Western Europe at that time.
For a real alternative to Calvinism, look to the Eastern
Orthodox Church. Much of Calvinism was taking form even
Under the legal system of the Papacy. For a good expample
Find the book "Seven Penitential Psalms" by Bishop Fisher
A Catholic Bishop in England at the time of Henry the Eighth.
You will easily discern the strong legal flavor of his works.
Still, to his credit, he was far closer to the mark than the
heretic, John Calvin.
