Review Quotes

Donald McKim has done it again! With his characteristic mixture of perceptive scholarship and accessible prose, McKim has crafted a guide to key concepts, figures, and controversies in Reformed Theology throughout its history. A much-needed, reader-friendly reference work and introduction to a rich theological tradition.

Donald McKim is a premier encyclopedist and this subject is his specialty. I highly recommend this as a reference work for all students in the field.

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!

This handy guidebook provides an accessible entrance into Reformed theology for students, church folks, and general readers who want an introduction to basic terms in this Christian family. Strongly recommended for all classes in Reformed Theology!

This is a volume of distilled riches from the Reformed tradition, rooted in Donald McKim's lifetime of researching, writing about, and indwelling it. If you are new to Reformed theology you will find it to be an accessible, wise, and trustworthy entryway, and the more you know about the Reformed tradition, the more you will admire what McKim has managed to achieve.

What a useful resource! From busy pastors in need of a quick reference to students just digging into a particular topic, all will appreciate Don McKim's informed and accessible introduction to the names, terms, and concerns of the Reformed faith.
