This is a Theology “type” spotlight – so to speak. As a seeker of theological knowledge, I will need to define many terms/phrases/idioms/isms …
Reformed theology: "A system of religious belief based on the writings and beliefs of Calvin." Source: Glossary of Religious Terms
Who is Calvin? John Calvin (Geneva, Switzerland) July 10, 1509 – May 27, 1564, was a pastor and theologian during what is know as the Protestant Reformation – in which the Protestant Church broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. See Martin Luther.
Calvinism:
"Strict theological doctrine of the French Protestant church reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and the basis of Puritan society. Calvin held that all humans were born sinful and only God’s grace (not the church) could save a person from hell." Source: An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren.
