Abstract
This study focuses on a broader explanation of Calvinism. It considers both selected theological reform personalities and contemporaries of Jean Calvin, both the theological considerations of the Dutch theologian Arminius, his followers of the Remonstrants, and the final decisions of the Anti-Remonstrants at the Synod in Dort, the Netherlands, in 1618-1619.
Next in focus is, very briefly, Calvinism in the Reformed Churches, and the last part draws attention to both positive and negative aspects in the contemporary application of Calvinism.
