El pueblo presbiteriano es parte de una familia ms amplia. Tiene una relacin familiar con el grupo de iglesias conocido como las iglesias reformadas. Estas iglesias han existido desde del siglo dieciseis. Durante la reforma protestante en Europa, que comenz con Martn Lutero (1483-1546), algunas personas cristianas que estuvieron de acuerdo con Lutero y con su crtica de la Iglesia Catlica Romana, estuvieron en desacuerdo con l en otros asuntos teolgicos. Algunos de esos prominentes protestantes, que no eran luteranos, fueron Zuinglio, Calvino y Bulinger. Aquellas personas que siguieron a estos lderes fueron conocidos como cristianos/as reformados/as. Este grupo quera que la iglesia de Dios fuera reformada, que se alejara de las prcticas no bblicas, y que se ajustara a lo que este grupo pensaba que enseaba la Escritura. El grupo entendi su fe cristiana de acuerdo a los escritos teolgicos de estos lderes importantes. Entre los telogos, Juan Calvino se convirti en el ms importante.

Hoy, hay ms de 75 millones de personas cristianas reformadas, en 218 denominaciones en 107 pases. Si bien el pueblo presbiteriano se diferencia teolgicamente entre s, hay afirmaciones teolgicas distintas, o formas de entender la fe cristiana, que han sido y siguen siendo nfasis especial entre el pueblo presbiteriano. Este estudio de dos lecciones examina las creencias y anima al grupo a reflexionar sobre su propio entendimiento sobre los fundamentos de las creencias presbiterianas.

Presbyterians are part of a wider family. They have a family relationship with the group of churches known as Reformed churches. These churches have been around since the sixteenth century. During the Protestant Reformation in Europe, which began with Martin Luther (1483-1546), some Christians who agreed with Luther in his criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church went on to disagree with him on other theological matters. Some of those prominent Protestants, but not Lutherans, were Zwingli, Calvin, and Bullinger. Those who followed these leaders became known as Reformed Christians. They wanted God's church to be reformed--to move away from unbiblical practices and to conform to what they believed the Scriptures taught. They understood their Christian faith along the lines described in the theological writings of these major leaders. Among the theologians, John Calvin became the most prominent.

Today there are over 75 million Reformed Christians in 218 churches in 107 countries. While Presbyterians differ theologically among themselves, there are distinctive theological affirmations, or ways of understanding Christian faith, that have been and continue to be special emphases among Presbyterians. This two-session study looks at those beliefs and encourages participants to reflect on their own understanding of the foundations of Presbyterian beliefs.
