Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin, like Luther posits the view that salvation is by God alone. Since God determines everything he determines salvation. Man’s position in determining his salvation is manifestly nil. In a profound sense, Calvin’s view of salvation grows out of his view of human nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although Henry rejected Martin Luther’s theology of justification by faith alone, he did accept the German reformer’s insistence upon the supremacy of Scripture. After all, the ‘Word of God’ (Leviticus 20.21) had justified the annulment of his first marriage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most famous of the Swiss reformers was John Calvin (1509-1564). While working on a law degree in France, Calvin apparently studied the writings of religious reformers like Luther and came to agree with their core beliefs, including the idea that Christians are reconciled to God by faith, not works.
