Theodore might have been one of the last great reformers, but his impact was great and his passion flamboyant. His enemies did everything they could to try to stop him because of his powerful writings and teachings. Now let's get to know Theodore before saying more. He was born on June 24, 1519 in Vézelay, France. Born to father Pierre de Beza and mother Marie Bourdelot. As he reached college age, he traveled to Paris to receive education from the famous German teacher Melchior Wolmar. He was accepted with pleasure into his house and shortly after followed his teacher to Bourges. At this time, Bourges was the focal point of the Reformation in France. After his time there, he went to Orléans, France, not New Orleans, Louisiana, to study law for 4 years. Married in 1544 to a young girl named Claudine Denoese. After doing all this, he wrote a book that made him quite famous. Shortly after this book was published, he fell ill with a terrible illness. It shook his spirit and left him in need of a savior. Once recovered, he went to Geneva and, upon his arrival, he was welcomed and officially met by John Calvin. He was more interested in higher education and Calvin's theology. Beza had controversies over predestination and the burning of his friend Michael Servetus who was burned alive by Calvinists. Théodore Bèze travels across Europe to spread the word of God and the teachings of Calvin. When he was in the Geneva church, he agreed with most of what the pastor said, but sometimes he disagreed so much that he threatened to leave the church. What made Théodore Beza popular and well known throughout Europe was not only his writings, but also his leadership and his connection with John Calvi...... middle of paper ...... e unknown greedy gulfs, Devoured the devourer even to his intelligence, And he made his ships pray on the sand, which meant praying on other people's land.

Théodore Bèze died on October 13, 1605 in Geneva, Switzerland. He woke up and got ready for the day but soon became weak. Within minutes, he passed away peacefully. But unfortunately, in recent days, King Henry IV converted to Catholicism. So much of his work was for nothing. Overall, Theodore led a successful life and changed Europe dramatically during the Reformation..
