[edit]- This picture needs a reference. Is it somehow based on a chart in a book?
- Modern movements such as the en:Charismatic Movement (in wider sense than pentecostalism) and en:Prosperity theology are missing. Mange01 (talk) 23:59, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- More:
- the Arminians are missing, and should lead from near the common basis of presbyterianism/reformed up to methodists that are either Arminians or Calvinists,
- the presbyterianism/reformeds can be regarded as synonyms,
- the pietists are not extinct as indicated, they survive as the Laestadians,
- the rest of the chart seems pretty OK, one might also consider adding a general restoration movement where the adventists, pentecostalists and holiness movement split off from the methodists, an enviroment from where split "radicals" that intended to restore the whole bible into a judaizing restoration movement, from which adventists, later 7d-adventists and after a while Jehovas Witnesses split off, and a new-testament restoration movement, which constitute irvingites, holinessers, pentecostals and others, but that's just a little pedantery...

Calvinism
[edit]This is a helpful image, but I have a few suggestions.
The image makes it look like Reformed churches are part of the en:Radical Reformation. As you can see at that page, the Reformed are not included. Anabaptists are the only movement on this chart considered radical.
Presbyterian churches are a subset of Reformed churches. You could rather distinguish them from en:Continental Reformed churches. Continental Reformed churches also precede the Presbyterians by a bit. I think it makes most sense to have a straight "Continental Reformed" line with a branch shortly after the start for Presbyterians. --Jfhutson (talk) 00:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
