Poets in Geneva mourned the end\u003cbr\u003eof an era of star theologians, reminiscing about Geneva's Reformed triumvirate of gold, silver, and bronze: gold represented Calvin; silver Chandieu; and bronze Beza. Van Raalte's work sets Chandieu within the context of Reformed theology in Geneva, the wider history of scholastic method in the\u003cbr\u003eSwiss cantons, and the gripping social and political milieux of this tumultuous time. Chandieu was far from a mere ivory tower theologian: as a member of French nobility in possession of many estates and castles in France, he and his family acutely experienced the misery and triumph of the French\u003cbr\u003eHuguenots during the Wars of Religion. Connected to royalty from the beginning of his career, Chandieu later served the future Henry IV as personal military chaplain and cryptographer. His writings run the gamut from religious poetry (put to music by others in his lifetime) to carefully-crafted\u003cbr\u003edisputations which saw publication in his posthumous \u003cem\u003eOpera Theologica \u003c\/em\u003ein five editions between 1592 and 1620. Chandieu had developed a very elaborate form of the medieval \u003cem\u003equaestio disputata \u003c\/em\u003eand made liberal use of hypothetical syllogisms. Van Raalte argues that Chandieu utilized scholastic method in\u003cbr\u003etheology for the sake of clarity of argument, rootedness in Scripture, and certainty of faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore G.
