Weber & Religion
Detail 2
Calvinism
Predestination - God had predetermined which souls would be saved - 'the elect', and those who would not be, even before birth. Individuals could do nothing whatsoever to change this, whether through their deeds, as the Catholics believed. God's decision is already made and cannot be altered.
Divine Transcendence - God was so far above & beyond this world & so incomparably greater than any mortal, that no human being could possibly claim to know his will
Asceticism - This refers to abstinence, self-discipline & self-denial. E.g Monks lead an ascetic existence, refraining from luxury, wearing simple clothes & avoiding excess in order to devote themselves to God & a life of prayer.
