Geneva asked which reformer to lead its religious reforms?

• A. Martin Luther
• B. John Calvin
• C. Ulrich Zwingli
• D. Thomas Cranmer

Answer: (B)

John Calvin is the reformer associated with Geneva's religious reforms. Geneva invited him to take the lead because of his clear plan for organizing church life and moral discipline, plus his scholarly influence. When he arrived, he helped codify Protestant doctrine and established a church government that included ministers and elders, with a Consistory to enforce church discipline. This combination—strict theological order plus social governance—made Geneva a key center of Calvinism and shaped Protestant practice far beyond the city. Luther led reform in Germany, Zwingli in Zurich, and Cranmer in England, so their reforms were centered elsewhere.
