Abstract

Theological and historical perspectives regarding the sacraments are diverse. This text aims to provide an overview of reformed sacramental theology. We tried to make some brief ecumenical nods. The review is bibliographical and is based on dialogue between texts by the reformer John Calvin and other authors. The results indicate that, in the Reformed tradition, there are two sacraments: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Eucharist). Both are efficacious means of grace for salvation. In the horizon of ecumenism, within the biblical-theological pluralism of the Christian tradition, baptism should never be repeated (rebaptism). Intercommunion has been a liturgical practice among reformist churches.
