Reformed Theology

Reformed Theology is a branch of Protestant theology that emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the necessity of grace through faith. It is rooted in the teachings of John Calvin and other Reformers, focusing on God's covenant with humanity and the doctrines of grace.

Reformed Theology emerged during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, primarily through the work of John Calvin in Geneva and other Reformers who sought to return to biblical foundations and challenge the practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
