John Calvin (mar 9, 1509 – mar 9, 1564)
Description:
Geneva was capital of calvinism. Predestination! John Calvin (1509 - 1564) emphasized doctrine of predestination and salvation to the elect, with faith as evidence of being elected. Calvin kept the Lord's Supper and baptism, but Calvin did not believe in transubstantiation, unlike Luther. No fun in Geneva. John Knox brought Calvinism to Scotland.Added to timeline:
