Somebody missing?[edit]

Is there any information about how these particular figures were picked for veneration? I would like to know why, for example, Martin Luther is not amoung the select. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecrystalcicero (talk • contribs) 14:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's because this is a monument to Calvinism, which was the particular strain of Protestantism that was born in Geneva. As a result, it reflects key figures in Calvinism and related theologies (Prebyterianism and Puritanism), but not Lutheranism. I would guess that, besides the theological differences, Lutheranism may have been excluded because, unlike the afore-mentioned British theologies, it came into direct competition with Calvinism in Switzerland and across continental Europe, leading to an emphasis on the differences.

every one is amazed by this wall —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.213.65.25 (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen the wall since 1970, but I seem to remember that at that time there were plaques, separate from the main wall, commemorating Luther and Zwingli. Agingjb (talk) 13:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Irony[edit]

Does anyone see the irony of making statues of iconoclasts like John Calvin? He considered statues of Catholic saints to be idolatrous, but his modern-day followers build statues of him without batting an eyelash. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 05:12, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other Theologies[edit]

The line: 'nonetheless, key figures in other theologies are also included.'

These guys are all Calvinists, even if their 'free will baptists'/'reformed baptist' or even 'Puritan' - but they're all Calvinist theologies, what distinction is being made here, and is it necessary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EConroy (talk • contribs) 23:47, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The park"[edit]

The article mentions "the park," but the park (Parc des Bastions) is not mentioned or described anywhere in this or another article. 75.7.114.45 (talk) 22:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
