Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Including an annotation about the history of the Reformed Churches The Heidelberg Catechism is a Protestant confessional document taking the form of a series of questions and answers, for use in teaching Reformed Christian doctrine. It has been translated into many languages and is regarded as one of the most influential of the Reformed catechisms. The Catechism is divided into fifty-two sections, called "Lord's Days," which were designed to be taught on each of the 52 Sundays of the year. The Synod of Heidelberg approved the catechism in 1563. In the Netherlands, the Catechism was approved by the Synods of Wesel (1568), Emden (1571), Dort (1578), the Hague (1586), as well as the great Synod of Dort of 1618-1619, which adopted it as one of the Three Forms of Unity, together with the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dort.

Download or read book A Faith Worth Teaching written by Jon D. Payne and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 450 years, churches throughout the world have been using the Heidelberg Catechism (1563) to instruct God’s people in foundational Christian doctrine. When Elector Frederick III (1515–1576) commissioned the preparation of a manual for instructing the youth and guiding the pastors and teachers of his domain, he could not have imagined the profound effect it would have on future generations of Christians. The most widely used, most influential Reformation catechism, the “Heidelberger” shines forth the blessed truths of the gospel in 129 questions and answers, beginning with the memorable, ever-enduring subject of our “only comfort in life and in death.” In A Faith Worth Teaching , edited by Jon Payne and Sebastian Heck, an array of faithful pastor-scholars celebrate the Heidelberg Catechism on its 450th anniversary with a collection of essays on its dynamic history, rich theology, and fruit-bearing practice that will be an encouragement to pastors and laypersons alike.

Download or read book The Christian s Only Comfort in Life and Death written by Theodorus VanderGroe and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 1104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian’s Only Comfort is the sermonic exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism by Theodore VanderGroe (1705–1784), a prominent divine of the Dutch Further Reformation. VanderGroe’s exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism could be considered his magnum opus, and in some ways, it was esteemed as highly by the godly in the Netherlands as The Christian’s Reasonable Service of Wilhelmus à Brakel. In this able exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism, we find the unmistakable characteristics of the Dutch Further Reformation: it is steeped in Scripture; it is very pastoral; and it promotes a robust, comprehensive form of Reformed piety.

Download or read book Learning Jesus Christ through the Heidelberg Catechism written by Karl Barth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Heidelberg Catechism does not represent a different theological orientation... here the Reformed Church confesses the good news of Jesus Christ in. a joyful, thankful, free, personal way . . . Barth has caught this spirit in his commentary. To read it is to become acquainted with a side of Reformed Protestantism which all too often has remained hidden.” - from the Preface The two short studies by renowned theologian Karl Barth included here were first published in 1964, the 400th anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism—a classical document of the Reformation Period. Students, ministers, laypersons, and theologians continue to find these essays helpful, for they provide not only an introduction to the Heidelberg Catechism, but also a brief, systematic presentation of Reformed theology in the 16th century and a glimpse of Barth’s own theology on the 20th century. The first essay, “Christian Doctrine According to the Heidelberg Catechism,” is a question by question interpretation, commentary, and evaluation of the catechism. “Introduction to the Heidelberg Catechism,” the second essay, examines the three basic questions of the document: Who is the Comforter? Who is comforted? and How is comfort given and in what does it consist?
Download or read book The Commentary of Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism written by Zacharias Ursinus and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zacharias Ursinus was a Reformed Christian theologian who authored the Heidelberg Catechism, an early Protestant document about faith, written in question-and-answer format. Living amid the fractious religious upheaval that ensued following the Protestant Reformation, Ursinus was in the vanguard of theologians and Christian authors in Germany. The newly-established Reformed church wished to cement its influence among the populace; to this end, authors wrote and published a series of books that answered queries on faith. The Heidelberg Catechism was one of the most influential, gaining a wide readership and proving vital to the establishment of Protestantism, with its organized composition of 52 Lord's Days - one for each week of the year - allowing for ease of teaching. Ursinus's explanations are cogent, setting out principles of Christianity by answering a variety of questions on subjects such as Jesus Christ, baptism, sin, forgiveness and salvation. Both the New Testament Gospels and Old Testament lore are examined; of particular note is the author's explanations of Moses' Ten Commandments and their unceasing importance in Christian life. Cultural questions are also considered; the role of the church in society, and the ceremonies that believers participate in. There are notable allusions to the ongoing hostilities of his time; Ursinus occasionally makes derogatory references to the Catholic church, referring to its believers as a 'Popish mass'.
