doi:10.21050/CSE.2018.41.01

This study aims to study Castellion’s thought of peace ethic which confronted that of a violently assertive Calvin in Geneva in the radical Reformation movement. And this study focuses on his advocacy of religious tolerance and pacifism. Even though Castellion had been attacked by Calvin and his followers until his death, he confronted his antagonists in a peaceful way, and urged religionists who have power in the Reformation movement to tolerate people with different views of faith. Firstly, this research examines the aspect as a humanist Castellion, who had been recognized for his scholastic ability at the Trinity University in Lyon, became a follower of Calvin and the seeds of conflict with Calvin was germinated. Secondly, a decisive moment of the full-fledged confrontation between Calvin and Castellion is considered to be a tragic history for Servetus to be burned to death in Geneva, in which their debates on the execution of Servetus is reviewed. Thirdly, the debate over religious tolerance triggered by the execution of Servetus is examined through the writings of Castellion, Calvin and Calvin’s follower Beze. Lastly, this study deals with Castellion’s pacifist ethic idea, explaining how he challenged orthodox theology in the era of Reformation, and exploring how much he desires and calls for world peace through his advice on a desolate France when the Huguenot war broke out.
