450 years after his death, John Calvin can still divide a room full of people into various fighting clusters just by the mention of his name.

And BTW, Calvin was not nearly as Calvinist as his followers became after his death.

Those people are called hyper-Calvinist. They out-Calvin Calvin.

Even Calvin believed in common grace; many FR Calvinists do not.
