Today we learned about Calvinism and his idea of predestination.

Here are the questions you should be looking at to finish (pick 2)

-What do you think of Clavin’s idea of Predestination? If you don’t agree with it explain why.

-How do you think the idea of “free will” fits in Calvin’s idea?

-Many early American colonists believed in predestination. Why?

-What kind of social conditions made this belief comforting?

-Could Calvin’s ideas provide some notion of certainty in a tumultuous and frightening world?
