Pierre Viret (1509-1571) Ask anyone who has even the scantiest knowledge of the sixteenth century Reformation, "Who was the most significant figure in Geneva's magisterial Reformation?" and they would of course reply, "John Calvin." But Calvin himself would undoubtedly reply, "Oh, no, no, no. To be sure, it was Pierre Viret." It was Viret, along with his mentor and friend William Farel, who brought the Reformation to the city of Geneva beginning in 1534. Viret pastored a thriving church. He helped to evangelize the neighboring districts. He engaged in several public disputations with Catholic hierarchs. He wrote voluminously. He survived two brutal assassination attempts. And, he established the first academy for Reformed theological training. Viret set about his work tirelessly, discipling some of the brightest minds in the fledgling Reformation movement. Viret would train a whole new generation of pastors, evangelists, apologists, educators, and missionaries. Whenever there was an intractable conflict in any of the churches, it was Viret who was called in to restore their purity and peace. He would write more than 50 books that would shape the Reformation throughout Europe. Carrying on a voluminous correspondence with frequent visits back to Geneva, he was Calvin's best friend and most trusted advisor. No wonder Viret was deeply beloved. To some he was known as the "Smile of the Reformation." To others, he was the "Angel of the Reformation."
