WEBER

Calvinists preached about predestination; God had already determined who was going to be saved ‘the elect’. Nothing could be done to change it. They saw that no individual would have the power to know God’s will as God was divine transcendent being. Calvinists saw the only way to glorify God was through their vocational calling of THIS WORLDLY ASCETICISM: constant work.
KAUTSKY has criticised Weber’s analysis Calvinism’s role in the development of capitalism, suggesting CAPITALISM PRECEDED CALVINISM
