Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg delves into the life and legacy of John Calvin, a highly influential theologian of the Reformation era. Calvin was a humanist scholar who became acquainted with the gospel while studying New Testament Greek. He later became convinced of the Reformed faith and formulated his beliefs in his successful book, which served as a key text for the Calvinist theology that followed. Calvin's legacy includes the influential city of Geneva, which he helped to shape through his autocratic ruling style and strongly held beliefs.
