At the time of the Protestant Reformation, there were many different leaders and ideas which could be followed; Zwingli and Calvin in Switzerland, Knox in Scotland, Luther in Germany, Cranmer in Britain, and many others. Most of these men had very similar views about salvation and their opposition to the abuses in the Roman Catholic Church, but they also had significant differences too.

Rather than a Christian denomination or sect, Calvinism is a system of thought regarding Christian beliefs (theology).

There were many contributing factors which drew Protestants to the views of John Calvin, but one of the most influential was Calvin's prolific writing. In 1536 he published what many consider his most famous work, Institutes of the Christian Religion, a book still popularly read and studied today. He wrote more than 1,300 letters still in existence, and published sermons and comments on most of the books of The Bible.

A draw golf club is one which has a heavier weight on the heel of the club.
