Abstract

This article examines cases of fornication and illegitimacy as they were regulated by the Genevan Consistory, a morals discipline court that John Calvin created in 1541 to eradicate sin from the community. We argue that ordinary people failed to live up to the moral standards of Calvinist reformers as they practiced illicit sex and had bastard children. The authorities did their best to correct such behavior and provide for illegitimate children.

这篇文章探讨了通奸和非法行为的案件，因为它们受到Genevan Consortory的监管，这是约翰·加尔文于1541年创建的一个道德纪律法庭，旨在根除社区中的罪恶。我们认为，普通人没有达到加尔文改革者的道德标准，因为他们从事非法性行为并生下私生子。当局尽最大努力纠正这种行为，并供养私生子。
