A Paris merchant returning to Lyons through the mountains of the Loire and Puy-de-Dôme stops in a village where the peasants have begun reading the Scriptures for themselves. The volume adds the conversion narrative of Peter Bayssière, who reasons his way from Catholic teaching to Protestant belief, and the history of a single Bible passed from hand to hand.
