Summary Calvin is German priest who challenged the catholic church belief, and discorverd the new way of religious ferver called calvinism. It seems to state that god had chosen his people to be saved prior and that reflect on their behaviors, this is called predestination. His ideas dominate Western culture throughout the modern period. His writings on predestination had significant impact on the Protestant sects of northern Europe and were eventually very influential in the development of American culture. He goes against the church's celebacy and payment for salvation, and "Predestination we call the eternal decree of God, whereby he has determined with himself what he wills to become of every man. For all are not created to like estate; but to some eternal life and to some eternal damnation is foreordained" showed to be angry at it he believes the only way to be close to god is through faith and seldemlove to god without anyone else intefering. Calvin, on the other hand, built his reformed church on the concept that salvation was not a choice, but was rather pre-decided by God from the beginning of time. This mean that individuals were "**elected**" for salvation by God this "elect" would form the population of the Calvinist church. Human being who is guaranteed to gain salvation no matter what he or she does here on earth, although the elect obviously don't engage in flagrant sin; not all good people were among the elect, but people with bad behavior were certainly not among the elect. This was important in the basis of the time period because it was the time of transformation and acrive roles of enligtenmnet and new ways of thinking. Calvinists wanted the participation of all believers in church affairs and thus influenced attitudes toward government. They also stressed education to enable believers to read the Bible.
