The opposite of Calvinism is considered to be [[Arminianism]], which was first espoused by Jacobus Arminius.

The opposite of Calvinism is considered to be [[Arminianism]], which was named after Jacobus Arminius.  It should be noted here that neither John Calvin nor Jacobus Arminius truly came up with the theologies named after them, as the ideas contained within the respective beliefs have been debated upon even as far back as Paul in Romans 5.

A few of the more well-known theologians that follow Calvinism are John Calvin (who it was named after), Charles Spurgeon, and Jonathon Edwards. Also of notable popularity in the present day is John Piper, who has many written materials and recorded sermons available.
