Why did Calvinism spread more rapidly than the Lutheran religion?
it had the means of spreading its ideas, e.g. missionaries from Calvins academy in Geneva, and also the Geneva printing press made easy distribution of ideas. Calvins church also had the structural support, unlike luther. Calvinist followers could set up their own private worship (conventicles), which then escalated into parish counsels etc. This made it possible for independants to practise calvinism. Luther had no structure behind his ideas which made it hard for followers to worship without looking for superior guidance.. if you get my drift....
