In this Very Short Introduction, Jon Balserak explores major ideas
associated with the Calvinist system of thought. Beginning during
the Protestant Reformation in cities like Zurich, Geneva, and
Basel, Calvinismaalso known as Reformed Theologyaspread rapidly
throughout Europe and the New World, eventually making its way to
the African Continent and the East. Balserak examines how Calvinist
thought and practice spread and took root, helping shape church and
society. Much of contemporary thought, especially western thought,
on everything from theology to civil government, economics, the
arts, work and leisure, education, and the family has been
influenced by Calvinism. Balserak explores this influence. He also
examines common misconceptions and objections to Calvinism, and
sets forth a Calvinist understanding of God, the world, humankind,
and the meaning of life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
