Summary
Unlike Lutheranism, the Reformed faith lacked both a central personality who gave its life and thought a distinctive shape, and a specific localized context from which it could expand. Instead, it emerged in a number of cities in Switzerland. From there it spread across Europe as it was picked up by exiles whose imaginations were captured by what they witnessed in Switzerland and who carried the theology and the ecclesiastical models of their various exile cities back to their homelands. As a result, the Reformed faith was both eclectic and variegated in its manifestations. It was also shaped intimately by the specific political conditions of the nations where it took root.1
