Letter of Consolation

By Pierre Viret and Christian Fantoni

In Letter of Consolation, Pierre Viret-John Calvin's friend and a forgotten hero of the Reformation-comforts and encourages his people through intense persecution. This book is a new translation of Viret's writing during seasons of Roman Catholic oppression and up to the legalization of Protestant worship in France in 1559. The Letter explores not only the Protestant Christian response to tyranny and hardship, but also how to maintain faith as persecution recedes. As Viret wrote, "Let us always be like those who sail at sea. If no wind is blowing now, let us be even more careful and prepared for storms and tribulations."
