The Dictionary of the Presbyterian & Reformed Tradition in America is a concise and informative guide to one of the most significant streams of Protestant Christianity in America. Expanding on the highly regarded Dictionary of Christianity in America, this work covers the ideas, events, people, movements, practices, institutions and denominations that have made up the Presbyterian and Reformed tradition from the earliest days to the present.

Not necessarily a cover-to-cover read, but if you were dying to know who Everett Harrison was, or a brief history of, say, the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America, this is the book for you.
