John Calvin was born in 1509. He died in 1564.In 1536 the first edition of "Institutes of the Christian Religion" was published in Basle. It was revised on a number of occasions and the final edition was published in 1559. This book was a clear explanation of his religious beliefs. The later versions expanded on how his church should be organised.
John Calvin said, "To make God a momentary Creator, who once and for all finished his work, would be cold and barren, and we must differ from profane men especially in that we see the presence of divine power shining as much in the continuing state of the universe as in its inception." Calvinism was based on new reform movement that began in France, adopting a position mid-way between the Lutherans and Zwingli.
Calvin worked in Geneva from 1541 until 1564 and promulgated these ideas in the French-speaking areas of Switzerland. He advocated a theocratic state, where the state enforced ecclesiastical doctrines, discipline and morality.
