Theologian and Protestant reformer. Educated in Catholicism, he studied studies of theology, humanities and law. With little more than twenty years he became Protestantism, by adopting the views of Luther: denial of the authority of the Church of Rome, the primary importance of the Bible and doctrine of salvation through the faith and not of the plays. Such convictions forced him to leave Paris in 1534 and seek refuge in Basel (Switzerland). 1536 was a decisive year in his life: on the one hand, he published a book in which he systematized the Protestant doctrine - the institutions of the Christian religion - which would reach a great diffusion right away; And on the other, he arrived in Geneva, where the growing Protestant community asked him to stay to be the spiritual guidance of him. Calvin was installed in Geneva, but he was expelled from the city in 1538 by the excessive moral rigor he had tried to impose his inhabitants. In 1541 the Ginebrinos returned to call him and, this time, Calvin did not just preach and try to influence the customs, but he assumed a true political power, which he would exercise until the death of him. Although he maintained traditional representative institutions formally, he established a control of fact on public life, based on the assimilation of religious community and civil community.
