The Real Calvin and Hobbes

Sunday, August 1, 2010


I would have never guessed this in a million years! We're definitely a Calvinist household. That's why I found this so interesting! The text reads:

Calvin and Hobbes

"John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French theologian during the Protestant Reformation and was a central developer of Calvinism - an approach to the Christian life that emphasizes God's sovereignty in all things. The system is perhaps best known for it's doctrines of predestination and total depravity, the fallen state of man as a result of the general condition of sinfulness into which human beings are born.


Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher, today best remembered for his work on political philosophy. Hobbes's account of human nature as self-interested cooperation has proved to be an enduring theory in the field of philosophical anthropology.


Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the antics of an imaginative six-year-old boy and his sardonic - albeit stuffed - tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes."
