Who are these guys? That was the question the teenage Daniel R. Hyde posed to his father when he first encountered Reformed believers. With their unique beliefs and practices, these Christians didn't fit any of the categories in his mind. Not so many years later, Hyde is now Rev. Daniel R. Hyde, a pastor of a Reformed church. Recognizing that many are on the outside looking in, just as he once was, he wrote Welcome to a Reformed Church: A Guide for Pilgrims to explain what Reformed churches believe and why they structure their life and worship as they do. In layman's terms, Rev. Hyde sketches the historical roots of the Reformed churches, their scriptural and confessional basis, their key beliefs, and the ways in which those beliefs are put into practice. The result is a roadmap for those encountering the Reformed world for the first time and a primer for those who want to know more about their Reformed heritage.… (more)

A great introductory read for the layman who might be new to the Reformed Faith or the seasoned believer who is seeking a refresher on the basics of the Reformed Faith. Highly recommended! ( )

Passable but provincial intro to Reformed Churches. Hyde writes in an approachable manner to someone who is familiar with the faith, but a new believer would struggle to make sense of this book in a number of places. He tries to cast a wide net, referencing multiple confessions and catechisms, but becomes idiosyncratically narrow on several current hot-button issues. These points, largely centered around justification and imputation, turn his focus from giving a general introduction to making an extra-confessional defense of certain points. Telling is his extended quotation from an individual theologian rather than (as per usual) a confessional document to argue for a particular take on Christ's active obedience. I'd be happy if people exploring Reformed churches found this book; I'd be even happier if they came across a less parochial guide. ( )
