Calvin's influence in all the world, already during his lifetime and ever afterwards, was tremendous. Luther, of course, stands alone, as the founder of the Protestant Reformation. But Calvin, benefiting from Luther, outstripped even Luther in influencing the Church of Christ in all the world.
Napakalaki na ng naging impluwensya ni Calvin sa buong mundo noong panahon niya at maging kahit pagkatapos noon. Nag-iisa si Luther, siyempre, bilang tagapagtatag ng Repormasyong Protestante. Ngunit si Calvin, na nakinabang kay Luther, ay nahigitan maging si Luther sa pag-impluwensya sa Simbahan ni Cristo sa buong mundo.
