Yes, John Calvin significantly influenced the Protestant church in Europe, particularly through his teachings and the establishment of Reformed theology. His ideas on predestination, the sovereignty of God, and the importance of Scripture shaped the beliefs and practices of various Protestant denominations, including Presbyterianism. Calvin's work in Geneva also served as a model for church governance and discipline, impacting Protestant communities across Europe. His legacy continues to resonate in many Christian traditions today.
