Afrikaner Calvinism is a religious movement that developed in South Africa in the 17th century. It is a branch of the Calvinist Protestantism tradition which began in Europe. The main idea behind Afrikaner Calvinism is that God has a plan for people's lives, and people must work hard to obey God's rules in order to find success and be blessed. Afrikaner Calvinists also place importance on living a morally good life, helping the needy, and obeying the law.
