Calvinism is a branch of Protestant theology founded by John Calvin, emphasizing the sovereignty of God in salvation. Its basic tenets include total depravity (humanity's inability to save itself due to sin), unconditional election (God's choice of certain individuals for salvation), limited atonement (Christ died specifically for the elect), irresistible grace (God's grace cannot be resisted), and perseverance of the saints (the elect will remain faithful). Predestination is a key concept within Calvinism, asserting that God has eternally chosen some for salvation and others for damnation.
