Theodore Beza (June 24, 1519–October 13, 1605) was a French Reformer, scholar and pastor who is best known for succeeding John Calvin in leading the Reformation in Geneva.
Early life and career
Beza was born on June 24, 1519 in the town of Vézelay in modern-day central France.[1]
Beza studied law in Orleans from 1535-39.[1] After receiving his degree, he set up his own law practice.[1] During this time, in 1548, Beza published Juvenilia, "a volume of amorous verse" which gave him a reputation as a leader in Latin poetry.[1]
