| Resumo: | It is notoriously difficult to describe Reformed theology, due to the nature of the tradition itself, namely plural and diverse, self-critical and changing. Globally, the Reformed story is a story of many stories, with two thirds of its members today living in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and with intimate ties to the historical, social and cultural realities of diverse societies and communities. The Reformed tradition is confessional, but understood in an open, historical and contextual way. It is even difficult to list typical Reformed doctrinal positions, although attempts are common. Perhaps it is more appropriate to focus on the Reformed ethos and to understand the tradition as a way of being the Christian community in the world, in an awareness of the living God. |
