Dr. John Calvin (John Calvin)

John Calvin was a prominent 16th-century theologian and leader of the Protestant Reformation. He is best known for his teachings on predestination—the idea that God has sovereignly chosen who will be saved—along with emphasizing the authority of the Bible and the importance of a disciplined Christian life. Calvin’s major work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," shaped Reformed theology and influenced many Protestant churches. His ideas promoted a structured, moral approach to faith and church governance, making him a key figure in shaping modern Protestant thought and practice.
