may 1, 1555 - Supremacy

Description:

Using his Protestant Principles, Calvin established a religious government and was given absolute supremacy as leader in Geneva, ending the struggle for control. He became known for his intellectual, unemotional approach to faith that provided Protestantism's theological underpinnings. Calvin engaged in a massive correspondence with political and religious leaders throughout Protestant Europe, continued his commentaries on Scripture, and established the Genevan Academy to train students in humanist learning in preparation for the ministry and positions of secular leadership.
