In an age where denominational differences are increasingly a thing of the past, it's salutary to remember the distinct contribution Reformed theology makes to the whole church's understanding of God and the gospel. This A-Z dictionary makes the task easier, with brief descriptions that simplify without being simplistic. For example, part of what makes theology Reformed is its stress on God's initiative in all things. Good to know!
