John Calvin
John Calvin
(; , ; born : 10 July 150927 May 1564) was an influential French
theologian
and pastor during the
Protestant Reformation
. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of
Christian theology
later called
Calvinism
, aspects of which include the doctrine of
predestination
and the
absolute sovereignty
of God in
salvation
of the human soul from death and
eternal damnation
. In these areas Calvin was influenced by the
Augustinian
tradition. Various
Congregational
,
Reformed
and
Presbyterian
churches, which look to Calvin as the chief expositor of their beliefs, have spread throughout the world.
