Juan Calvino

O Autorze

John Calvin was a prominent theologian and reformer in the Protestant Reformation, best known for his teachings on predestination and the sovereignty of God. Born in France, he initially pursued a career in law before turning to theology, influenced by the growing Reformation movement. His seminal work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," laid the foundation for Calvinist theology and has had a lasting impact on Protestant thought.

Calvin's role in the Reformation was most notably established in Geneva, where he implemented a theocratic government and sought to reform the city according to his interpretation of Christian doctrine. His influence extended beyond Geneva, as his ideas shaped many Protestant denominations worldwide. Calvin's emphasis on the authority of Scripture and the necessity of faith transformed the religious landscape of Europe, making him one of the most significant figures in Christian history.
