'''Calvinism''' (also known as [[Reformed Churches|Reformed Theology]]) is a name given to a set of beliefs and ideas in Christianity, notable for its emphasis on predestination. Calvinism is named after the influential [[Swiss]] [[theologian]] and lawyer [[John Calvin]], though Calvin himself emphatically rejected the term Calvinism. The "five points" of Calvinism were codified after the 1619 decision of the [[Synod of Dort]] over the [[Arminianism|Arminian]] controversy.

Calvinism is most often identified with Calvin's teaching on the question of salvation and [[Divine providence|providence]]. Many summarize Calvinism in five points, often referred to by the acronym TULIP, which itself was invented sometime in the 1930s. (The Synod of [[Dortmund]] originally created these as a response to the five points of Arminianism.  At the time they were ordered as ULTIP.) However, these five points do not represent the entirety of reformed theology.  Some topics such as the [[Trinity]] and God's providence are not sufficiently covered by these points alone.<ref>http://www.gospelpedlar.com/articles/Church%20History/calvinism.html</ref>
