Good, James I.
Famous Women of the Reformed Church (Good)
Description
The wives of the Reformers are an interesting study and have been an important element in the history of the Reformed Church. They received greatness from their husbands, and impart gentleness and beauty in return. Just as Deborah and Esther, with the Mary's of the New Testament, aided in making up Bible history, so the women of the Reformed Church have helped make her history great. It is hoped that the lives of these Reformed saints will stimulate the women of our Church to greater interest in our splendid Church history, to greater activity in missions and the practical work of the Church. Some of the women considered are Anna Reinhard, Zwingli's wife; Idelette D'Bures, Calvin's wife; Anna Bullinger, Henry's wife; Queen Margaret of Navarre and many others.
