Calvinism, as a major branch of Protestant Reformation theology founded by John Calvin in the 16th century, has persisted to this day. While its influence peaked during the Reformation and the subsequent centuries, the core tenets of Calvinism continue to be practiced by various denominations, notably Reformed churches. Thus, while its initial rise occurred in the 1500s, its theological legacy and impact remain significant in contemporary Christianity.
