Theodore Beza, Calvin’s successor in Geneva, wrote De Veris et Visibilibus Ecclesiae Catholicae Notis Tractatio (Treatise on the True and Visible Marks of the Catholic Church) on how to recognize the true church. Reading it in Latin lets you follow his argument as he made it.
In these MasterClasses, Dr. David Noe takes you through the treatise closely, explaining its grammar, syntax, and vocabulary as you go. Dr. Noe has taught Greek and Latin for more than 34 years. He is also an experienced translator of Reformation and Post-Reformation works.
