Calvin thought people were sinful by nature and couldn’t earn Salvation
Believed in Predestination- God knows from the beginning of time who will be saved, those people are called the “elect”
Religion based on Calvin’s teachings called Calvinism
Calvinism
Believed ideal government was a theocracy (a government controlled by religious leaders)
Protestants in Geneva, Switzerland asked Calvin to lead their city- he did so with strict rules
Everyone attended religious class, couldn’t wear bright clothing or play cards
Authorities imprison or excommunicate anyone breaking rules
John Knox
People were burned at the stake, if preached differently
To many protestants, Geneva was an ideal city
John Knox, preacher from Scotland put the same ideas into Scottish towns after visiting Geneva
Calvinism Spreads
Protestant nobles, led by Knox succeeded in making Calvinism Scotland’s official religion
Followers of Knox became known as Presbyterians
Swiss, Dutch and French reformers adopted Calvinist form of church organization
Although many protestant churches trace roots to Calvin, they have softened Calvin’s strict teachings
