Key terms include <strong>Predestination</strong>, <strong>Justification by Faith</strong>, and <strong>Sanctification</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Context</strong> The 16th century saw significant turmoil in Europe, particularly with the sack of Rome by the Goths. Christians suffered greatly during this period, leading to questions about the nature of suffering and its relationship to faith. Theological debates surrounding <strong>Predestination</strong> and <strong>Free Will</strong> contributed to the development of Calvinist thought.</p>
