Jean Calvin

关于作者

Jean Calvin was a prominent theologian and reformer during the Protestant Reformation. He is best known for his influential work in developing the system of Christian theology later known as Calvinism, which emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, and the necessity of grace through faith. His seminal work, 'Institutes of the Christian Religion', laid the foundation for much of Protestant thought and continues to be a key text in Reformed theology.

Calvin's impact extended beyond theology; he also played a significant role in the establishment of a new church structure and governance in Geneva. Under his leadership, Geneva became a center for Protestantism and a model for other Reformed communities. His writings and teachings influenced a wide array of thinkers and reformers, solidifying his legacy as one of the most important figures in Western Christianity.
