Jeffrey R. Watt's The Consistory and Social Discipline in Calvin’s Geneva provides a detailed analysis of the Genevan Consistory, an ecclesiastic court established during the Reformation to enforce discipline. Using extensive archival research, Watt examines how the Consistory, led by clergy and lay elders, addressed a range of issues, including sexual immorality, marriage disputes, blasphemy, and adherence to Reformed doctrine. He argues that the Consistory played a crucial role in shaping social norms and enforcing religious discipline, but with an emphasis on correction and moral persuasion rather than severe punishments. Watt also situates Geneva’s disciplinary system within broader European trends, illustrating how this form of governance contributed to early modern social control.
