Author: Calvin, John
John Calvin (July 10, 1509 – May 27, 1564) was a French Christian theologian during the Protestant Reformation. Having studied for the priesthood at Paris in his youth, Calvin turned his attentions to civil and canon law in Orleans when his father became disaffected with the clergy. Exposed to the ideas of Luther while he was still in Paris, Calvin's writing indicate that he had definitely moved into the Protestant camp by 1533. On November 1 of that year, he delivered a speech in which he attacked the established church and called for reforms. Calvin's ideas started a wave of anti-Protestant sentiment that forced him to flee for his own safety. He found refuge in Geneva that became a point of refuge for persecuted Protestants from all over Europe. Calvin's theology has been greatly influential in many Protestant denominations. The primary tenets of Calvinism include a belief in the primacy of the scripture as an authority for doctrinal decisions, a belief in predestination, a belief in salvation wholly accomplished by grace with no influence from works, and a rejection of the episcopacy.
