John Calvin was an important figure in the Protestant Reformation in Europe. A French legal scholar and theologian, Calvin settled in Geneva, Switzerland before being expelled to Strasbourg, and then returned to Geneva where he became an important figure. His methods of organizing his church with Doctors, Pastors, Elders and Deacons became a model used widely for other Calvinist protestant Christian denominations including the Scots Presbyterians, the English Puritans or Congregationalists and the Dutch Reformed.

Calvin was a contemporary of Martin Luther.
