The theology of Martin Luther and John Calvin are quite different in temper and in character. However, if one compare the teachings of Luther to that of Calvin he/she will discover amazing similarities of the two, even more so than their disagreements. For example, most scholars distinguish differences between the two reformers by stressing that Luthers theology is based solely on Justification by Faith, while for Calvin it is the Sovereignty God. The distinction is largely a matter of empahasis and should not leave the impression that Luther did not speak of the Sovereignty of God, or that Calvin did not speak of Justification by faith. Both reformers agreed that God is the great sovereign power and Justification by Faith is the heart of Christian faith.
