The Early Modern Period: John Calvin “Institute of Christian Religion”:
The work of John Calvin, om the Institute of Christian Religion is a masterpiece and a
summary of the Protestant Theology, that had a faith-based approach and illustrated upon the
Reformation of Faith. The work argued upon the majesty of God and stated that justice shall
be achieved only through faith upon the god. The book emerged the concept of Calvinism,
which is still in practice as a sect of Christianity. As noted in history, Reformation was one of
the greatest revolutions in the human history and focused only upon the sovereignty of God,
holding ideas like, believing in the God and walking in the oaths that he has told can truly
reach one to his or her goals and thus only, one can glorify Jesus Christ. The sect is of the
opinion that only ne=believing in the God can earn the society the required justice. Therefore,
thus the ideas of the Reformation were to reinstate belief s in god, in all aspects. This
included the political aspects as well, whereby, Calvin has asked the monarch to follow the
paths of god in order to create social justice.
