In this episode, season 4 continues with the series on Denominations. This episode goes into the Reformed tradition. We summarize its history, sources of authority, structure, and position on the sacraments/ordinances and conclude with its distinctive emphasis and divergences. The historical section begins broadly but then narrows down into Presbyterianism. See the landing page for sources/further reading.
