John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French Reformation theologian and founder of the tradition that today is most strongly represented in Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Calvin worked out his theological views while attempting to reform the Swiss city of Geneva. Calvin's thought puts great emphasis on the sovereignty of God and the ways in which sin deforms the whole of human existence. Epistemologically, Calvinism puts emphasis on an innate sense of God's reality that has been damaged by sin, on revelation and on the inner testimony of the Holy Spirit.1

"The heart must be kept tender and pliable; otherwise agnosticism converts to skepticism. In such a case, the value of apologetics is voided, for apologetics is aimed at persuading doubters, not at refuting the defiant. He who demands a kind of proof that the nature of the case renders impossible, is determined that no possible evidence shall convince him."
Joseph Butler (1692-1752) was an Anglican Bishop who made important contributions to both theology and philosophy. Butler's Analogy of Religion was well known in the eighteenth century for its defense of orthodox Christianity over against deism. Butler made many acute contributions to moral philosophy, including a celebrated critique of hedonism, in which he argued that pleasure is not generally the direct object of desire but rather is a byproduct of other things that humans desire.1
