"While there he received his theological education and formation in the
nominalist school of via moderna, first in the Collége de la Marcheand later
at the Collége Montaigu."

Dear Mark,

I suspect there may be some confusion here. The term Via Moderna sometimes
applied to the Scotists and not just the Occhamist nominalists. But Calvin
was definitely a humanist. Humanism referred primarily to the study of the
humanities by going back to the original sources. In France, such humanism
tended to focus on the study of the Pauline letters in the original Greek.
Calvin's great love was Cicero, though.

warmest, Susan
