John Calvin (1509–1564) was a French theologian, pastor, biblical commentator, and one of the most influential figures of the Protestant Reformation. After embracing Reformation ideas, he eventually settled in Geneva, where his preaching, teaching, and writing helped shape the development of Reformed Christianity. Calvin is best known for Institutes of the Christian Religion, a major work of Christian theology addressing Scripture, salvation, the church, God’s sovereignty, and the Christian life. He also wrote extensive biblical commentaries and pastoral works. Calvin’s writings continue to influence Reformed theology, preaching, biblical interpretation, and discussions of Christian doctrine and discipleship.
