Christians are bombarded with competing messages, but the Heidelberg Catechism speaks clearly. Its teaching on the gospel and the Christian life is biblical, accessible, and pastoral. Its three-part structure of guilt (law), grace (gospel), and gratitude (sanctification) is framed by the comfort the Christian has in God alone.
In The Heidelberg Catechism, R. Scott Clark reflects on the catechism’s theology, piety, and practice. This thorough yet accessible guide to the catechism comments on each of its 129 questions, revealing the catechism’s historical and theological context and explaining how it enlivens the Christian faith today.
