REFORMED CHURCHES

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 22 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REFORMED CHURCHES , the name assumed by those
Protestant
  bodies who adopted the tenets of Zwingli (and later of Calvin), as distinguished from those of the Lutheran or Evangelical divines. They are accordingly often spoken of as the Calvinistic Churches,
Protestant
  being sometimes used as a synonym for Lutheran. The
great
  difference is in the attitude towards the
Lord
 's Supper, the Reformed or Calvinistic Churches repudiating not only
transubstantiation
  but also the Lutheran consubstantiation. They also reject the use of crucifixes and other symbols and ceremonies retained by the
Lutherans
 .
Full details of these divergences are given in M. Schneckenburger, Vergleichende Darstellung des lutherischen and reformierten Lehrbegriffs (
Stuttgart
 , 1855) ; G. B. Winer,
Comparative
  Darstellung (
Berlin
 , 1866; Eng. tr.,
Edinburgh
 , 1873). See also
