Excerpt from History of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand The Author regrets that, owing to want of space, the material of a number of manuscripts kindly sent him could not be used, and that for the same reason many photographs placed at his disposal had to be left out. It will be seen that the photographs inserted are so numerous that the publishers found it difficult in all cases to secure suitable places for their artistic illustrations. Owing to the treating of the charges seriatim it is hoped that no minister or congregation will be able to complain of being entirely ignored. An attempt has also been made, by means of a full Index, to make the book easy of reference, and therefore of permanent value.

As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches contains information on the major personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This is done through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 800 cross-referenced dictionary entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches.
