It details his early education, conversion to Protestantism under the influence of Martin Luther, and his eventual role as a leading figure in the Reformation while in Geneva. His seminal work, "The Christian Institutes," is highlighted as one of the most influential theological texts in history, establishing Calvin's views on predestination and the sovereignty of God.
