John Calvin, the Great Reformer, used dictatorial means in making Geneva a "Protestant Rome" but planted the seeds of modern democracy. He enforced rigid morality, stressed social solidarity but also had a share in developing capitalism. He supported the destruction of religious statues and other images, but described arts as gifts of God. This, in simple terms, seems the consensus in assessing facets of Calvin's role in history by theologians and historians in countless lectures, studies and biographies half a millennium after he was born on July 10, 1509.
