John Calvin

(1509-64) French Protestant theologian of the Reformation. From 1523 to 1528 he studied in Paris. His opinions gradually turned to disagreement with the Roman position,

After his father’s death in 1531 he returned to Paris, where he pursued his own predilection - the study of the classics and Hebrew. He came under the humanist influence and became interested in the growing rebellion against conservative theology. He experienced about. 1533 what he later described as a “sudden conversion,” and he turned all his attention to the cause of the Reformation.

In 1534 he began the work of systematizing Protestant thought in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, considered one of the most influential theological works of all time. Completed at Basel in 1536 and later frequently revised and supplemented, the original work contained the basic Calvinist theology.
