It is a long story, but the basic principals of Calvinism come from The Bible particularly Paul's books of Ephesians and Roman's. Augustine expounded on and interpreted these passages in the 300's laying the groundwork for Calvin's work in the 1500's. Calvinism as well as Arminianism (free will theology) are both considered to be theologically orthodox Soteriological positions.
