John Calvin

Johannes Calvin (1509–1564) war ein französischer Theologe und Jurist, der vor allem in Genf wirkte und zu den einflussreichsten Reformatoren zählt. Er begründete mit seiner „Institutio Christianae Religionis“ die reformierte Tradition und stellte die absolute Souveränität Gottes sowie eine strukturierte Gemeindeordnung ins Zentrum. Für Bibelleser sind seine präzisen Textkommentare bis heute von Bedeutung, während seine strenge Kirchenzucht und seine Rolle bei der Hinrichtung Michael Servets umstritten bleiben.
