• John Calvin's theology emphasizes the sanctity of conscience, the sanctity of companionate marriage, and the obligation of those in power to attend to the well-being of the people in general, especially the poor.

This is not the Calvin of myth, but when the Elizabethans read him there was no such myth, nor would there be now, if he were read.
