The Company of Pastors
Book •
Scott Manetsch's 'The Company of Pastors' examines the network of clergy in sixteenth-century Geneva and how their collaborative structures shaped Reformed pastoral practice.
The book explores weekly meetings, shared preaching, and the role of the consistory, portraying Calvin as first among equals rather than an authoritarian sole ruler.
Manetsch uses primary sources to show how pastoral governance functioned and influenced broader Reformation ecclesiology.
The work highlights the collegial nature of Reformed ministry, pastoral care, and the development of church discipline within Geneva.
It is widely used by scholars and pastors interested in historical ecclesiology and practical implications for ministry today.
