Calvin, John
Calvin, John (1509–64) French theologian of the
Reformation. He prepared for a career in the Roman Catholic Church but turned to the study of classics. In
c.1533 he became a Protestant and began work on his
Institutes of the Christian Religion. In this work he presented the basics of what came to be known as
Calvinism. To avoid persecution, he went to live in Geneva, Switzerland (1536), where he advanced the Reformation.
