This brief, humorous introduction to theology by noted educator and

the key movements, thinkers, definitions, and questions of theology
in a lighthearted way. Includes illustrations by Ron Hill.
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th
century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider
themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement
originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of
Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed
movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was
Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social
and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of
literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew.
Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and
multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed
Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than
1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events,
facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book
is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about reformed churches.
Reformed theology is one of the major Protestant theological
traditions in the United States and Western Europe, one that
includes various forms of Presbyterianism and dozens of other
denominations, all deeply influenced by the Swiss reformer John
Calvin. Reformed Theology from A to Z is an accessible presentation
of some 116 theological terms and how they are understood in
Reformed theology. Each article is approximately 300 words in
length, giving a clear and succinct presentation of the meaning of
the term along with its understanding and use in the tradition. The
terms are arranged alphabetically—from A to Z—showing the
breadth of this major strain of Protestantism. This book is written
so those with little or no theological backgrounds will understand
the terms. Pastors will appreciate the book as a handy reference
work to their insights on the meanings of theological terms as they
reflect and interpret the terms to others. Protestant seminary
students in mainline denominations will also value the book as a
convenient reference to terms they encounter in their studies.
Since the book is compact, it is of special value for these
specific audiences; it is a unique resource for studying Reformed
theology and its emphases. McKim provides clear, compact, and
reliable descriptions of a wide range of theological terms with
discussions that are understandable to those without formal
theological training.
