Les protestants à Nîmes au temps de l'Édit de Nantes

The work analyzes the social and religious organization of a local Reformed community under the framework of the Edict of Nantes, concentrating on ministers, consistories, colloques and synods and their relations with political assemblies. It explains how consistories regulated daily life, enforced discipline, raised funds, and resolved disputes, and how higher ecclesiastical bodies provided oversight and cohesion. The narrative also examines interactions with municipal authorities and Catholic neighbors, and the tensions between communal self-government and external political power that shaped worship, pastoral practice, and communal identity.
