What a milestone! John Calvin's contributions to the Reformation were monumental, especially his ideas on predestination and the sovereignty of God. His establishment of systematic theology has shaped not only Protestant thought but also broader Western philosophical frameworks. How do you think his teachings resonate in today’s discussions around faith and governance?

Absolutely! Calvin's emphasis on personal faith and community governance really set the groundwork for modern democratic ideals. It's fascinating how his thoughts on morality and ethics continue to spark dialogue in our society today. Do you see parallels between his teachings and contemporary issues like social justice or political responsibility? I'd love to hear your take on that!
