Pocket Dictionary of the Reformed Tradition
Overview
Beginning to study Reformed theology is like stepping into a family conversation that has been going on for 500 years. How do you find your bearings and figure out how to take part in this conversation without embarrassing yourself? The Pocket Dictionary of the Reformed Tradition takes on this rich, boisterous, and varied tradition in its broad contours, filling you in on its common affirmations as well as its family tensions. Here you will find succinct and reliable entries on Latin terms, confessions, and doctrines, as well as theologians such as John Calvin and apologists such as Francis Schaeffer.
