El te\u00f3logo de origen franc\u00e9s Juan Calvino (1509-1564) fue una de las grandes voces de la Reforma Protestante. Se le suele llamar el mayor te\u00f3logo sistem\u00e1tico de la Reforma y es la figura m\u00e1s influyente de toda la tradici\u00f3n teol\u00f3gica reformada. Su monumental libro Institutes of the Christian Religion<\/i><\/a> (Instituci\u00f3n de la Religi\u00f3n Cristiana) ha sido calificado como uno de los diez libros que conmovieron al mundo.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, Calvino tambi\u00e9n es considerado uno de los te\u00f3logos m\u00e1s controversiales en la larga historia de la cristiandad. Sus puntos de vista sobre las doctrinas de la elecci\u00f3n y la predestinaci\u00f3n eran y son desagradables para los cristianos y los no cristianos, pero no eran muy diferentes de las de otros te\u00f3logos influyentes como Agust\u00edn, Tom\u00e1s de Aquino y Mart\u00edn Lutero. Tambi\u00e9n se critica a Calvino por su participaci\u00f3n en el modo en que los l\u00edderes reformados de Ginebra, Suiza, se dirig\u00edan a los que rechazaban la fe cristiana<\/a> en la \u00e9poca de la Reforma.<\/p>\n

A pesar de la controversia y dada su estatura e influencia en la historia de la Iglesia, hay tres cosas que tal vez no sepa sobre Juan Calvino como persona. Espero que estos detalles le hagan reflexionar sobre Calvino con un sentido de perspectiva hist\u00f3rica y empat\u00eda.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Calvino, como un introvertido pensativo, era retra\u00eddo, extra\u00f1o y no hac\u00eda amigos f\u00e1cilmente.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A diferencia de Lutero, cuya personalidad audaz, locuaz y carism\u00e1tica desencaden\u00f3 el gigante llamado la Reforma Protestante, Calvino fue un reformador de segunda generaci\u00f3n (veintis\u00e9is a\u00f1os m\u00e1s joven que Lutero) que era callado, t\u00edmido y pensativo. Su personalidad reservada contribuy\u00f3 sin duda a su fama de ser fr\u00edo, intelectual y poco sociable. Sin embargo, las personas que le conocieron bien, como su famoso alumno Theodore Beza, hablaron de su amabilidad y su genuina preocupaci\u00f3n por los que sufr\u00edan. Y a pesar de su temperamento ardiente,<\/span> Calvino encontr\u00f3 una causa com\u00fan con otros l\u00edderes importantes de la Reforma, como Philip Melanchthon, Heinrich Bullinger y Martin Bucer.<\/p>\n

    2. Calvino fue compa\u00f1ero de clase de Ignacio de Loyola en la Universidad de Par\u00eds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Un hecho poco conocido de la historia es que dos de las mayores figuras del choque de la Reforma entre protestantes y cat\u00f3licos en el siglo XVI, Juan Calvino e Ignatius of Loyola<\/a> (1491\u20131556), fueron a la escuela juntos en la Universidad de Par\u00eds. (Hablando de tener una distinguida lista de ex alumnos, el fil\u00f3sofo cat\u00f3lico Tom\u00e1s de Aquino tambi\u00e9n hab\u00eda estudiado en la Universidad de Par\u00eds unos tres siglos antes). Como parte de la Contrarreforma cat\u00f3lica (una respuesta directa a los protestantes), Ignacio fund\u00f3 la Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Jes\u00fas, conocida popularmente como los jesuitas. Fueron los jesuitas los que aportaron una en\u00e9rgica cr\u00edtica cat\u00f3lica a la teolog\u00eda protestante de Calvino. Uno s\u00f3lo puede preguntarse si estos dos brillantes y poderosos hombres, en medio del tumulto hist\u00f3rico, desearon alguna vez reunirse para recordar sus d\u00edas de escuela juntos.<\/p>\n

    3. La espesa barba de Calvino puede haber reflejado su desaf\u00edo a la autoridad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Como vemos en las pinturas, pr\u00e1cticamente todos los principales reformistas protestantes llevaban una espesa barba. Aunque no sabemos la raz\u00f3n exacta de ello, algunos han sugerido que la barba pretend\u00eda contrastar con la pr\u00e1ctica com\u00fan de los sacerdotes y monjes cat\u00f3licos de ir bien afeitados.<\/a> Por eso, cuando Calvino aparece en las pinturas con una barba parecida a la de los miembros de la banda de rock ‘n’ roll ZZ Top, es posible que \u00e9l y sus compatriotas protestantes est\u00e9n evidenciando su rebeli\u00f3n a la autoridad de la Iglesia de Roma, una tradici\u00f3n que algunos calvinistas contempor\u00e1neos han continuado. Rebelarse contra la autoridad parece ser una costumbre humana.<\/p>\n

    Todos tenemos pies de barro<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Es inevitable que un l\u00edder sea escudri\u00f1ado m\u00e1s que la mayor\u00eda de las personas. En el evangelicalismo actual se oye hablar mucho del debate entre las escuelas teol\u00f3gicas del calvinismo y el arminianismo. Por causa de esto, a menudo se piensa que Calvino es una figura contenciosa. Pero, \u00bfalgunos de estos puntos le hacen pensar de forma diferente sobre Juan Calvino como persona?<\/p>\n

    Ning\u00fan ser humano es m\u00e1s grande que otro. Sin embargo, Dios ha llamado a ciertas personas para llevar a cabo sus prop\u00f3sitos en este mundo. Esas personas, incluidos usted y yo, vienen con dones, talentos y defectos.<\/p>\n
