Although much of Calvin's practice was in Geneva, his publications spread his ideas of a " correctly " reformed church to many parts of Europe.
Calvinism became the theological system of the majority in Scotland ( see John Knox ), the Netherlands, with men such as William Ames, T J Frelinghuysen and Wilhelmus à Brakel and parts of Germany ( especially those adjacent to the Netherlands ) with the likes of Olevianus and his colleague Zacharias Ursinus.
It was influential in France, Hungary, then-independent Transylvania, Lithuania and Poland.
Calvinism gained some popularity in Scandinavia, especially Sweden, but was rejected in favor of Lutheranism after the synod of Uppsala in 1593.
