Calvinism
Calvinism is a
theological system and an approach to the Christian life that emphasizes the rule of God over all things. Named after
John Calvin, this variety of
Protestant Christianity is sometimes called the Reformed tradition, the Reformed faith, or Reformed theology.The Reformed tradition was advanced by theologians such as
Martin Bucer,
Heinrich Bullinger,
Peter Martyr Vermigli, and
Huldrych Zwingli and also influenced
English reformers such as
Thomas Cranmer and
John Jewel. Yet due to
John Calvin's great influence and role in the confessional and ecclesiastical debates throughout the
17th century, the tradition generally became known as Calvinism. Today, this term also refers to the doctrines and practices of the
Reformed churches, of which Calvin was an early leader, and the system is best known for its doctrines of
predestination and
total depravity.
