The influence of the Protestant Reformation still,permeates much of our Western culture. At the same,time, our popular perception of that complex, fluid, and,transformative time is often rigid and simplistic. Perhaps it,might be easier to grasp if we try to experience it through,the struggles, desires, perplexities, convictions, and quests,of someone who lived though it â€” in this case, a vocal and,inquisitive woman â€” RenÃ©e of France. Although RenÃ©e,belonged to the nobility of that time, the course of events,kept her focused on some basic questions of faith â€” the,same ones that many of us face. Is faith a private matter?,Can we just believe secretly in our hearts? What harm is,there in a little pretence?
