Calvinism | Vibepedia

Calvinism, rooted in the teachings of John Calvin in the 16th century, emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the necessity of grace through faith. Its doctrines, particularly the Five Points of Calvinism (TULIP), have sparked intense theological debates, influencing various denominations and movements, including Reformed churches and Puritanism. The tension between predestination and free will remains a contentious issue, with critics arguing that it undermines human agency. As Calvinism continues to evolve, its impact on modern evangelicalism and social justice movements raises questions about its future relevance in a diverse religious landscape.
