accepted an invitation from Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, to introduce the Reformation to the Béarn. He died in Bellocq or Orthez in 1571. Legacy Jean-Marc Berthoud suggests that "if his good friend, John Calvin, was the consummate dogmatician and the prince of exegetes, Pierre Viret must be considered as the finest ethicist and the most acute apologist of the sixteenth century." Robert D. Linder notes that "Viret, unlike Calvin, was ready to extend openly the authority of the Bible over the State." Linder concludes that "Viret deserves a far more prominent place in the story of the Reformation than he has been accorded thus far, especially by historians in the English-speaking world." Translated works Viret authored over fifty books, many of which have been translated into English, including: Anchor of the Soul: An Exposition of the Apostles Creed The Catechism of Pierre Viret The Christian and the Magistrate: Roles, Responsibilities, and Jurisdictions Exposition of the Ten Commandments His Glorious Bride Jesus Christ, the Believer’s Comfort and Joy Letters of Comfort to the Persecuted Church Marvelous Trinity Simple Exposition of the Christian Faith Decalogue Commentary Series No Other God Nothing Like God Taking His Name in Vain Remember the Sabbath Day Honor thy Father and Mother Thou Shalt Not Kill: A Plea for Life Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery Thou Shalt Not Steal Defend the Truth Thou Shalt Not Covet References Sources (in order of publication) (Crespin, J.), Procédures Tenues à l'Endroit de Ceux de la Réligion du Pais-Bas (Procedures Held With Regard to those of the Religion of the Netherlands) (Jean Crespin, Geneva 1568) Merle d'Aubigné, J.H.
