Europe Tour: Reformation Heroes in Geneva

Farel, Calvin, Beza and Knox

The greatest monument to the Protestant Reformation in the entire world is probably Geneva’s Reformation Wall. In this message we tour the monument, giving a history of each figure represented on it.

The four large central figures are:

  • Theodore Beza (1519–1605)
  • John Calvin (1509–1564)
  • William Farel (1489–1565)
  • John Knox (c.1513–1572)

On the right are:

  • Roger Williams (1603–1684)
  • Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)
  • Stephen Bocskay (1557–1607)

And on the left:

  • William the Silent (1533 – 1584)
  • Gaspard de Coligny (1519–1572)
  • Frederick William of Brandenburg (1620 – 1688)
