Calvin's reforms emphasized predestination and a more systematic approach to theology, focusing on a disciplined church governance and the moral conduct of believers, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, while Calvin established a distinct Protestant tradition with a strong ecclesiastical structure. King Henry VIII's reforms were primarily political, motivated by his desire for an annulment and the establishment of the Church of England, rather than theological principles. Thus, while all three sought to reform Christianity, their motivations and approaches varied significantly.

How did Calvin's reforms differ from Luther's and King Henry?

Calvin's reforms emphasized the sovereignty of God and predestination, focusing on a disciplined church structure and the importance of moral living, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith and personal faith experience. While Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, Calvin established a more radical approach by creating a new church model, particularly in Geneva. King Henry VIII's reforms were largely politically motivated, centered on his desire to annul his marriage and establish the Church of England, which retained many Catholic doctrines and practices. Thus, Calvin's theological focus and church governance differed significantly from Luther's and Henry's more personal and political motivations.
